Pupils' support worthy causes
The school held their Ty Gobaith Day on Friday, November 27, where pupils dressed up in casual clothes or anything beginning with T or G for a small donation.
There were a host of activities throughout the day, including a pizza sale during morning break which Chicago Pizzas generously donated towards.
In addition there was also a special Office Olympics event, where teams took part in a series of tasks to win a special prize.
Hundreds of pounds were raised from the charity day, with all proceeds going to Ty Gobaith.
Shaswath Ganapathi, said: “We would like to offer our thanks to Chicago Pizzas for their generosity, and for everyone else who took part in making our Ty Gobaith Charity Day a success."
Big thanks should go to our generous pupils, who once again gave a significant contribution to our annual autumn food drive.
The items were on display at St John’s Church during the annual Harvest Festival, and all food collected was donated between Action for Children and the Conwy Food Bank, who will distribute the produce to needy families throughout the region.
A fancy dress cross country was also held to raise funds for an Armed Forces charity.
Sixth form pupils were invited to run the gruelling course in fancy dress providing they made a contribution to chosen charity the Forces Children’s Trust, which is devoted to helping children whose father or mother has died, or has sustained life threatening injuries whilst serving as a member of the British Armed Forces.
Despite the muddy conditions the pupils managed to tackle the course, despite a few falls down the hill as demonstrated by our resident swimming star Teddy Roberts.
A number of staff also tackled the course to raise funds for the charity, which was chosen by Mr Boyd.
He said: “We wanted to something a little different this year to get as many people as possible involved in the cross country, and having the fancy dress option hopefully raised some much needed funds for a fantastic cause.
“The weather wasn’t great and that made conditions difficult, but everyone seemed to have a good time getting muddy and I would like to thank all pupils and staff who played a part in making the event a success.”
