Fundraising at Oxford Community School

Oxford Community School’s Year 8 held a charity fair again in July. Students had been learning about Colonia Ecologica as part of their citizenship lessons earlier in the term. Each class then had to come up with their own ideas for fundraising stalls to be stationed in the atrium on the day. On the day itself we had makeover stalls, face painting, decorate your own cake, guess the name of the teddy, lucky dips, cake stalls and many more. There was also a raffle with prizes kindly donated by OCS staff. The day was a great success, with stalls running from 10am until 1pm, and students were really enterprising in their ideas, teamwork and hard work on the day. In total, we raised £248.30 which was fabulous. The money will go towards an extra study hut for the children of Colonia Ecologica. Many thanks to all the students who took part and to the staff, particularly the Year 8 team and all those who supported us.
