6th form students have been busy raising money for the annual ‘Buy a Goat’ project, on behalf of World Vision.

Last year, as a 6th form, we raised £1139.30, coming second to Sharp Tor. This year, only 6th formers took part, and we managed to raise even more than last year!

The total raised for 2009/10 was: £1,460 .17 – a fantastic achievement!

As well as 7 Goats, we have bought a number of items, including:

• 13 mosquito nets
• 6 birth certificates
• 3 emergency shelters
• Dinners for children
• 2 toilets
• 2 babies safely delivered
• 2 children reunited with family
• 6 community nurses trained

This year, the tutor group that raised the most money had the chance to win the Golden Goat Award!  The ‘star prize’ was a Goat Handbook!

6 tutor groups managed to raise over £100 each:

6th place with £129.26 – FXX tutor group

5th place with £137.09 – PIP tutor group

4th place with £151.92 – KUD tutor group

3rd place with £186.17 –WHD/RDL tutor group

2nd place with £197.61 – FLR tutor group

And the winners are….

1st place with an amazing £286.10 – KNG tutor group

Well done to students and their tutors for supporting such a worthwhile cause.

 

Four brave staff members, including Head of Sixth Form Phil Randall, volunteered to be the targets during wet sponge throwing in aid of Buy a Goat.

Phil, Vicki, Julia and Voldis - the human targets for the wet sponges!

Vicki, Julia and Voldis prepare to be soaked.

Lauren uses her hockey skills to hit her target - no doubt Phil will bear this in mind when he writes her UCAS reference!

Sponge throwing ended up as bucket emptying - much to Phil's obvious delight.

A last throw of the water to ensure all four 'willing' volunteers are completely drenched on a cold, crisp day in December.
