International Students Bake Sale Raises over £100 for Cancer Research

This term international students of year 10 decided to continue the international department's splendid tradition of supporting their community by holding a charitable fundraising bake sale.  

The event was organised by a group of kind-hearted students from 9 countries, most of whom are new arrivals to the UK.  Their overall aim was to bring the school community together by raising awareness and funding for the Cancer Research charity.

There was an impressive variety of homemade international cakes and sweet baked goods on offer, including scrummy Koulourakia, Slovak Torty and Polish creamy Karpatka.  We would like to thank the cake-lovers who visited the stall, and we are pleased to announce that the sale raised an incredible £122. 

Specialist EAL Teacher Ms Sweeney said " It was lovely to see the school community integrated for another worthy cause,  special thanks to our international students who joined forces to produce and sell a variety of tasty international cakes and experience running a charitable event.  I am very proud that we have raised over £100 for the Cancer Research Children and Teens department." 

Thank you to all the students for their fantastic effort and to the staff who supervised the event.  

The students are already planning other charitable events and some of them have decided to become volunteers for Cancer Research.
