WANTED: Volunteers to help with a fundraising project for the soup kitchen at Dloko

Miss Gray is looking for volunteers to help make and sell a CD of the Dloko school choir to raise funds for the soup kitchen.

The CD was recorded in Durban earlier in the year at a professional recording studio who provided the studio time free of charge. The next part of the task is to design a CD cover, make copies and sell as many of these as possible!

If you would be interested in helping out with any aspects of this fundraising activity please see Miss Gray asap.

St Andrew's Day

A big well done to the group who organised today's St Andrew's Day festivities. £315.50 was raised, bringing our grand total up to £613. Keep it up!

S1 Halloween Party

The S1 Halloween Party raised £175 for the South Africa fund (£350 in total). Well done to those involved... not sure who enjoyed it more, the S1 or the S6!

Remember to let the staff know about any money you have raised so we can add this to the total.
