Social Services Update

As usual the Social Services Committee has been very busy.  Here is just a brief synopsis of activities undertaken during the term:

bulletIn September, 12 of the senior girls went to Basel for a day trip with the pensioners from the Burier retirement home. A very enjoyable day was had by all. 

bullet"Kindness Day" took place on the 1st of October.  Chocolate hearts were sold on the occasion with the proceeds going to handicapped people in St. Legier.

bulletThe staff "sponsored cross-country run" also took place in October.  Thank you to all those fit and brave members of staff who took part - Miss Beckett, Mr Jupp, Mr Chapuis, Mr Ward, Miss Aminot, Mr Hill, Mrs Urquhart, Mr Onslow, Madame Bodenmann, Miss French and Mr Lineham and to those who sponsored them.  The proceeds from this event were of course donated to Social Service and there is no truth in the rumour that the result was fixed!!!

bulletPoppy Selling took place in November.  330 Chf was raised from this activity.

bulletMany of the senior girls attended the Global Harmony workshop in Lausanne.  Thanks to Mr Dajani for giving us such a worthwhile and interesting presentation.

bulletFund-raising this term went particularly well.  Year 13 proved to be very enterprising indeed, raising 1200 Chf.  The grand total of 4500 Chf was raised this term. Thank you to everyone who helped us reach this total.

Next term we will be holding a Spring Fair and there will be traditional Mimosa selling.   We are always looking for new charities to help.  If you have any ideas - please let us know.
