North Cornwall Secondary Schools Collaborative Approach to Drug Education
Events
This year Wadebridge School held their annual Foodbank
Friday in December to collect donations for the special Foodbank Christmas
boxes, which provide food and Christmas treats for families in need in the
local community. The collection was a massive success, so thank you to all
students and parents who donated.
Last November we held a series of assemblies about the Food Bank and today Wadebridge School has taken donations:
Congratulations to
Wadebridge School's Lego robotic club who demonstrated amazing ingenuity,
creativity and teamwork to win the southwest regional robotics competition.
They built and programmed robots designed to complete a variety of tasks
as well as writing and delivering a presentation to a panel of engineers and
RAF officers. Our pupils also received a special mention from the organisers of
the competition for how polite and friendly they were to everyone at the
competition. They are now preparing to compete at the UK finals at the Big Bang
fair at the NEC in Birmingham.

A huge thank you to all those children, parents and staff who donated all items for this appeal last year. Thanks to your generosity we were able to fill 60 boxes to send as gifts to underprivileged children. We will be running this again this Christmas.

EmPower Plus Charity Fund Raising Event
Wadebridge School offer a student support service called EmPower Plus. This service is run by a group of Year 10 students.
The role of the EmPower Plus mentors is to offer support to students in Year 7, 8 and 9 by offering help and advice at the lunchtime drop in centre. As well as the regular lunchtime drop in's, EmPower Plus also offers a confidential email and text service, where students can contact them for help or support. The EmPower Plus Team decided to raise awareness of their service and raise money for a local charity at the same time. The charity they chose was Children's Hospice South West. They managed to raise a very respectable £615.00.
Sarah Stott, Senior Community Fundraiser for CHSW said “On behalf of everyone at CHSW, I would like to say a huge thank you to the students at Wadebridge School for raising such a fantastic amount for us through their non-school uniform day. It really is wonderful that these young people have chosen to do something to help other children. Their generous donation will make such a huge difference to the children and families that we support at Little Harbour - thank you so much!"
Fundraising for FLEET
At Wadebridge school following demonstrations by the local charity FLEET, on how to use a defibrillator, Miss Bassett’s tutor group were inspired to hold a cake sale to raise money for the charity. In one day students from 9CBT managed to raise £183 for FLEET in support of the Cornwall defibrillator project. Pictured are students from 9CBT with Miss Bassett (left hand side) and Anne Rundle (centre) receiving the cheque on behalf of FLEET.
