10 Dane in 'Toilet Twinning' fundraising initiative

10 Dane have been fundraising recently for a ‘Toilet Twinning’ initiative. Having raised awareness of their campaign in an assembly, they have been stationed outside a toilet in the new maths corridor for the past week, armed with toilet brushes and occasionally even wearing a toilet seat, to encourage donations to this worthy cause. Having already raised £153 in their first week, they are hoping to achieve their target of £240 in the run up to Half Term and would welcome any donations from parents sent in to school with their children.

As the class told their fellow students in assembly, 1 in 3 people across the world do not have somewhere safe to go to the toilet. Bad sanitation is one of the world’s biggest killers and it hits children, women, old and sick people the hardest.

The charity helps to fund latrines in communities which need them. But before latrine-building starts, there’s hygiene education on practices such as handwashing. This is key to behaviour change in the long term. The charity’s partners involve local people in deciding on the design and materials to be used in latrine building. This means latrines are both appropriate and affordable. People generally build their own latrine, and this means they are much more likely to continue to use it, and maintain it – ensuring the project is sustainable.

Well done to 10D for showing initiative and putting such a lot of effort into their fortnight-long fundraising campaign and thank you to Mrs Savin for co-ordinating the event.

The halls of 快猫视频 have been buzzing with holiday cheer this week as the annual Charities Week is officially in full swing. As the Autumn Term draws to a close, pupils and staff have united to raise vital funds for three incredible causes: Endometriosis UK, Spread a Smile, and Herts Young 快猫视频less. The school is alive with the spirit of giving, driven by a jam packed ‘Advent’ schedule designed to get everyone involved in the fundraising efforts. This year’s itinerary has been filled with exciting activities, ranging from pupil led lessons and a "Mystery Bucket" challenge to the competitive excitement of the "Elf Auction" and various competitions. Pupils have also enjoyed the classic "Sponge the Teacher" event and a visit to Santa’s Grotto, ensuring the festive atmosphere is matched only by the community’s generosity. Beyond the classroom activities, pupils have been sharing the festive spirit with the wider community. On 18th December, the SCD Senior Choir paid a special visit to Chorleywood Manor Care 快猫视频. The residents were treated to a beautiful selection of Christmas carols, featuring performances by members of the Chamber Choir, Evensong Choir, and the Barbershop Choir. Year 12 pupils Immy and Chrissie noted that "it was a very joyful occasion and it was lovely to see the residents joining in and looking so happy." The success of such a busy week relies heavily on pupil leadership, and the school extends a massive vote of thanks to Year 13 for their incredible hard work and dedication.

The week is set to conclude on Friday with the Grand Finale: the highly anticipated Sixth Form Revue, promising a spectacular end to a week of community, charity and celebration.
