St Wilfrid's Students Auction Staff Promises
to
Raise Money for UNICEF
On
Friday 14th November St Wilfrid’s Catholic School held an Auction of
Promises with a twist. The event has
been organised by students at the school who had asked their teachers for
promises that the whole school can bid for in an auction.
On
Friday lunchtime the School Hall was packed full of Students and Staff ready to
spend their money on promises. There
were a range of promises on offer to bid for from having a Chauffeur Service to
and from School to having your English homework done for a week, from having
your shoes shined to having a dance class, from having a professional photo
taken and developed to having a two hour recording session.
Mr John
Tarrant, Head of the Triple R Group and Auctioneer commented “There was a
brilliant atmosphere in the Hall and everyone really got into the spirit of the
event. There were several fierce
bidding frenzies, in particular, “Dress Mr Shields up in any way for a whole
teaching day” which raised £27.50.
We are delighted to that this event has raised £237.94
for
UNICEF.”
The Auction has been organised by the school’s “Triple R Group”, (Rights,
Respect and Responsibilities) not only as a way to raise money for UNICEF but
also to build stronger relationships between students and teachers.
