Each term TPS will have one event, which will raise money for a particular charity. Some of the ways the school has raised money in the past are through mufti days, alternative hair days, wearing red and white to celebrate the World Cup and hat days.
Harvest gifts are distributed to support communities in need and local elderly people’s homes.
The school has decided to continue to support, as its main annual charity, the local children’s Hospice Shooting Star Trust. The children bring in spare coins for their class collection boxes each Thursday, Our third world charity this year is Street Child Africa. We will be helping to fund their street-corner literacy programmes and their education drop-in centres in Africa.
The school always supports The Poppy Appeal, which is the major single source of revenue for the Royal British Legion’s Benevolent Fund, and there is a special Remembrance assembly to inform the children further.
TPS now has a reputation for its contribution to Samaritan’s Purse International Relief, and once again children and staff are bringing in their gift filled shoeboxes for Operation Christmas Child.
The school continues to support Edric Navidad in the Philippines through Tear Fund, and in his letters to us he sounds happy in his studies.
We recently presented a cheque for £1050 to help support a school in Mozambique as well as £1840 to Street Child Africa.
On Thursday 4th February pupils dressed in red and blue, the colours of the Haiti flag, to raise money for the disaster appeal. The total money raised was £1164.90.
