Charity Ultimate Elton Everyone had a great time at our Ultimate Elton event in March. Particular thanks to David Brydon and his team of helpers for superbly coordinating the event, also to Lulu and Howard Boder
Hog Roast
for facilitating and for assisting ‘Elton’ on the night. The evening raised £1,431.79.
At our annual Hog Roast we welcomed
Everyone was very generous with
families old and new to usher in the new
donations at an all time high of £367.99
school year. It was an excellent afternoon,
plus 2 Singapore Dollars and a 50 Stotinki
set off by the open classroom, the chance
coin from Bulgaria!
to meet and talk to our new Head, catch up with friends and eat delicious pork, all rounded off by the beautiful English sun!
Thank you to the BHCC for organising such a successful event.
Macmillan Coffee Morning Coffee and bacon butties went down a treat when we joined in the national World’s Biggest Coffee Morning in September. The traditional Friday morning bacon buttie stall usually raises funds for the BHCC but this week the money was donated to Macmillan Cancer Support. The BHCC version of the classic coffee morning event, still featured bacon butties, kindly sponsored by the school caterers. Holroyd Howe also supplied coffee and cake for those preferring a sweet treat. Proceeds from the event amounted to a total of £455.26. Commenting on the fund-raising efforts, Cris Martin St Valery, Chair of the BHCC
said, “The school is committed to ensuring that children and staff never lose sight of the value of generosity and our ethos has always been to demonstrate care and compassion towards others. Teaching children these valuable life lessons and actively involving them in raising funds for Macmillan helps to shape their views on what really matters. It was fitting that the children hosted their own event and that all money raised should be diverted to such a worthy cause, on this national fund-raising day. People gave generously as the whole school community came together to make the morning a huge success. Thank you to all those who helped set-up, serve and eat!”
