Celebrating our S3 Charities Committee

We are celebrating a successful year from our S3 Charities Committee - who have worked hard raising funds for two important charities: MacMillan and Teenage Cancer Trust.

All of the fundraising was pupil-led, with Committee members developing ideas that were overseen by Head of S3 Mr. Daryl Meechan.

Multiple fundraising events took place for these charities including a World Cup sweepstake; a MacMillan Coffee Morning for Junior School staff; a Halloween film night for S1; two separate bake sales (one in September, one in March which was Easter-themed); and a bucket collection around the P7 classes.

Our biggest event was December’s Santa Dash, where around 100 pupils and staff, from S2/S3/S5, ran around Glasgow Green on behalf of Teenage Cancer Trust. We joined 6,000 other Santas in Glasgow, and more than doubled our fundraising target! 

Altogether, over £5300 was raised for cancer charities - an amazing achievement. 

A big thank you goes to everyone who donated at fundraising events, and a well done to the S3 charities committee who put in so much effort and made it all possible.
