After the success from the previous fundraiser,
raising over £12,000 we had around the same time last year, we had lots of
enthusiasm towards this event also. The team spirit and energy in the planning
stage was great and there were many suggestions on how we could improve
aspects. The whole school was so involved and we loved the fact that we could
participate in a fun day in order to raise awareness and money for our link
with the Welcome Primary School some of us were lucky enough to visit in 2013.
On the morning of the day a group of us
came in a form of fancy dress, we took it upon ourselves to look as interested
as we were about the event so we came dresses as Hawaiian people, despite the fact
that the money was going to South Africa. Anyway, we arrived to registration to
hand in the money we had raised from the sponsor and then headed to the library
where we began to count the money the school had collected, this was
astonishing to see the large amounts and whilst counting the money we visited
classrooms to ensure they had all handed in their donations. It was so exciting
to see all the money and effort people had provided to the event and we all
felt so pleased.
When we completed counting the money we
set up outside for the walk to begin before going to our stations around the
park. Then the whole school and a few local primary’s started off and walked
the route with an extremely good attitude which was so brilliant to watch. The
efforts some individuals had made into their fancy dress was amazing and to see
the motivation within the pupils in each year was awesome to see. This year’s
walk was equally successful in the positive attitudes people delivered and in
the money we raised. It was so rewarding to see the whole school being involved
in something we know that will make such a significant difference.
