Visit to DBenevolent Care Home We were delighted to find out that monies collected during our school activities - Guy Fawkes, Biggest Loser Competition and Pyjama Day - were used by the Keeping It Real Foundation to create a study area for DBenevolent Care Home. They needed books to go on the shelves, so our students took books to them on Saturday 5th December 2015. During the visit, they indicated that pressing needs for January 2016 are schooling and healthcare. The PTA is collecting funds that will be used to pay for education and health insurance for the children. Please make donations and pledges at the school reception.
