Orchestra Rehearsal
Back in September, the Headmaster set the pupils a target of raising £3000 for The Catalyst Foundation so that we could provide 100 terms of education for pupils in Zimbabwe and Zambia. I am delighted to say that we have reached this target and gone beyond it. The pupils have all put in so much effort for events and come up with lots of ideas to raise money from a duck race to a chocolate tombola, and a special mention must go to two Priory girls - Boo who has raised £502 by busking, and Anstice who raised £819 by running a marathon.
Our Charity Prefects, Alexina and Jeevan, have been instrumental at organising a number of the events, and Alexina has worked with The Catalyst Foundation to make a wonderful video.
Here is a breakdown of fundraising events that have occurred this term:
More details of some of these events can be seen on our Media Page.

Next term, the charity we will be supporting is DOCS Foundation which supports an Orphanage in Nepal, and this charity will be launched at the beginning of next term.
