We have had a fantastic week of events to raise money for Comic Relief. U4H delivered some brilliant and informative assemblies about Comic Relief, including a very funny video of teachers telling jokes, some more successfully than others! On Tuesday, a hugely successful KES vs KEHS netball match took place along with a cake sale. Wednesday saw the staff take on, and be defeated by, the Sixth Form Sports Committee, in another netball match. On Thursday, Ms Platt hosted a Teachers vs Sixth Form university challenge style quiz, which again saw the teachers defeated! As well as all these events, on Friday many students sported red accessories and red noses and another successful cake sale was hosted. For this, the Thirds were able to contribute cupcakes which they made in Food Studies, as a part of learning about batch production techniques. The funny poem competition has also been very successful, with many entertaining entries. The winners will be announced next week. Our events have raised over £300 and donations are still being counted.
