Class Giving Campaign Stronger together
Class Giving is an opportunity for students to come together with their classmates to celebrate a fantastic year and leave a lasting legacy at the College. It is a grassroots fundraising initiative, led by parents, creating relationships and community across the College while taking action in line with the UWC mission. In 2019, an enthusiastic group of parent volunteers from both campuses greatly expanded the programme. Throughout the entire month of May they worked tirelessly to roll out the initiative across the College. Parents contacted other parents in the class, got the ball rolling with students and teachers, ramped up the excitement throughout the month and brought everyone together to decide on a meaningful initiative for each class. Some classes undertook a ‘30 days of kindness’ campaign with students committing to one act of kindness per day, and others decided to make a financial gift supporting a new tree on campus, purchasing part of a solar panel or donating funds to support the UWC Refugee initiative or Sky School.
