Mr John Ferrie, PT Pupil Support, gathered with some members of the pupil council to present a cheque for £150 to Barnardo’s. Mr Ferrie collects donations from one year to the next and was delighted to be handing over the much-needed cheque to the charity. Over the past 5 years, Mr Ferrie has passed over in the region of £500 to the charity.
Mr Ferrie was also instrumental in leading the school’s first ever ‘Reverse Advent’ event. Pupils learned about food shelters, where they are, who uses them and what type of items were needed, during house time. Pupils were then encouraged to bring in whatever items they could for the local food bank in Wishaw, in the spirit of giving at Christmas time. Pupils, parents and staff combined managed to fill over 20 boxes that were passed on to Mr David Shaw, from the food bank, last week. Mr Ferrie would like to thank everyone for their efforts.
