Non-uniform day fundraiser

December 2012

Cowbridge Comprehensive School staff and pupils took part in a non-uniform day and paid a pound each to help finance a South African charity.

Goedgedacht Trust - poverty in rural South Africa is still widespread
The school is a longstanding supporter of the Goedgedacht Trust in South Africa. In total the school has raised £2,291 from various fundraising events which will go towards helping to build Safe Houses for orphans and vulnerable children on farms.

Hampers for the community

December 2012

Pupils at the school have been spreading the Christmas cheer this week.

Students from across all year groups within the school demonstrated their kindness and generosity when they thoughtfully assembled 58 hampers for older people and for less privileged families. The hampers were suitably trimmed and filled with fantastic festive items with a Christmas card and photo from the students.

  

Fair Trade cake sale

December 2012

On Friday 14 December the Fair Trade Committee hosted a cake sale in the reception area of the school.

The stall sold home-made cakes to promote the message and value of fair trade products. It was a great success. Barely any cakes were left for key stages four and five after key stage three students nearly devoured everything including the tables! All the money raised will go to a fair trade charity and we want to say thank you to everyone who made cakes and to those who bought them.
Without your support we wouldn’t have been able to do our part for a great cause.

Massive thanks! The Fair Trade Committee.
