Where has your money gone?

You may remember that we raised some funds after the Haiti earthquake. The funds raised were donated to the Haiti Hospital Appeal with a request that the money raised be spent on the House of Blessings, an orphanage for disabled
children. I have received the following letter below in response to our donation.  May I thank you for your continued support of our charity events.
Mr Gardner

The year culminated in a final exhibition of work at the Brook Theatre, Chatham. Students produced work reflecting their town and identity and the work was praised by the Theatre Manager as being highly creative. He also commented upon how engaging our students were. We had an excellent turn out of over 100 people; we’ll see if we can beat that
next year. Yr 13 Students have been extremely busy completing their portfolios for final submission in June and as I write all have completed.
Since their return from study leave, yr 12’s have been working on a film project to test their ability to produce work to tight deadlines with very strict parameters. They are excited about returning next year, where they will get the opportunity to work with a range of creative practitioners.  I will let you know about forthcoming dates for exhibitions in later newsletters.

Mr Zane.

On the camping trip I enjoyed canoeing, water sports, laser quest, sailing and bowling. The campsite was very big and had a scout hut for eating breakfast, lunch and dinner. One of the best bits was going swimming and then going to see the film Prince of Persia, Sands of Time – which was one of the best films I have seen.

We were all put in six different teams and in laser quest, we competed against each other, two groups at a time.
Bowling was similar since in our teams, we got into groups of three or four and were all given separate bowling alleys and we played three games each. Sailing was a lot of fun since we were allowed right out to sea as long as we stayed in the bay.  Overall it was great fun and very enjoyable.
