Charity Drive

This is a group of 20-30 students from Years 11-13 that meet weekly to discuss and organise events to raise money for a range of different charities. Some of the events include the Non Uniform days, Sleep Out, 24 hours of Music. There is a short application and interview process that every student has to go through. We are looking for some new faces to help run the events and bring some new ideas for fundraising.
