Charities
n Show Racism the Red Card (SRtRC) is the UK’s largest anti- racism educational charity. SRtRC utilises the high-profile status of football and football players to help tackle racism in society and has also expanded into other sports. On Friday 16 October, as part of our ‘Adding to History... Black History Month’, the College came together to demonstrate our stand against racism by wearing red to school. In support of the educational charity, Show Racism the Red Card, we asked pupils to donate £2 to the charity. A total of £2614 was raised across the whole College as part of this ‘Wear Red Day’. n The Year 5 Caring at Christmas project in the second half of Michaelmas term saw the boys undertake a Santa’s Little Helper sponsorship challenge along with their charity quizzes for the rest of the Junior School pupil. They raised an impressive £570 for Link Age Southwark . During the project, the boys uploaded videos of their helpful chores to a group Flipgrid page. Over the two weeks, there were 295 videos sent in, 7,837 views, and an impressive 84.7 hours of engagement. Well done to the Year 5 pupils for Caring at Christmas! n The spirit of giving was alive in the run up to Christmas, as pupils donned their Christmas jumpers and, in the process, raised money for Save the Children . n As part of the Symposium in May, each form class took part in a Danceathon. Led by Miss Ibbotson, The Haka, The Jive and Bollywood were certainly highlights of the boys’ day, and there some shocked faces when the pupils witnessed ‘Saturday Night’ and ‘5,6,7,8’ performances from staff as they left school. The Danceathon raised an impressive £3025 for Gavi Vaccination Alliance who work with the WHO, UNICEF and CEPI to ensure equitable access to the COVID-19 vaccine worldwide. Our annual charity art exhibition gave families the chance to purchase pieces of framed artwork that the boys had produced. Organised by Miss Rowe, all proceeds again also went to the Govi Vaccination Alliance.
