Red House Pupils Raise Funds for Haiti Appeal

Following the recent tragic events in Haiti and the extensive news coverage on TV, staff and pupils at Red House were determined to help in whatever way they could. Consequently, an array of fundraising events were held throughout the school designed to raise funds for the DEC Haiti Appeal.

In the Nursery & Infant School, pupils put their artistic skills to the test by taking part in a 'best decorated water bottle' competition, which ultimately formed part of a colourful wall display. Pupils also took part in a non-uniform day and donated money which adorned a colourful map of Haiti.

In the Prep. & Senior School, pupils also donated money to dress in casual clothes and delighted in taking part in a 'hot chocolate and Hob Nobs' fundraiser. Year 9 and 11 pupils also held a raffle and sold refreshments in aid of the appeal.

Such was the generosity of support from parents, pupils and staff, that over £1600 was raised which will be donated to the DEC Haiti Appeal. Well done to everybody who took part and a huge thank you to all who donated money towards the appeal. In particular, thank you to Mrs Roberts for all her hard work in co-ordinating the events.
