The Student Council Report and
The Jack & Jill Foundation Fundraising Appeal |
| |
Our Student Council have been involved in a variety of initiatives this year including supporting The Jack and Jill Mobile Phone Campaign. Since January the girls have collected over 1000 old mobile phones. The money earned from the recycling of these phones will go to The Jack and Jill Foundation.
In acknowledgement of the Council’s great efforts, the C.E.O. and founder of The Jack and Jill Foundation, Mr Jonathan Irwin, visited us on May 14th. Mr Irwin’s presentation was truly inspiring! Following this the Council have decided to extend the campaign into next year. So do please keep all your old and broken phones over the summer! |
