Friday 21st was a time for the Community School of the Year to swing into action. With a busy day Etone College raised funds once again for Comic Relief. Building up to this day our pupils had the chance to understand the importance of the charity through our annual assembly. This year delivered by Mr Bowley and the Community Champions the focus of the assembly was sharing how small actions can have big impacts. 

For example for just £100 this can fully train a mentor in Africa who can support young children in keeping them safe. An interesting question to think “how much is our safety worth?” with all Houses agreeing much more than £100.

On the day itself it was fantastic to see the efforts of the Etone Community Champions as they descended onto the school gates to help collect for our Non-uniform day. With the vast majority of pupils showing their giving side the buckets were already heaving.

At lunch time the festivities continued as pupils had the chance to take part in specially designed activities at lunch including the: ‘Tell us a Joke’, ‘Design a Red Nose’ competitions or the Big Comic Relief quiz. So far we have raised over £800 with the final total being announce later this week. Well done Etone!!
