Staff this week endured a lunchtime soaking for Year 9 chosen charities! Mr Gunn, Miss Lebby, Miss Butcher and Mrs Wells bravely volunteered with a special guest appearance by Mr Morgan, Head of School. Interestingly Mr Morgan found himself in the stocks for rather a long time!
Over £70 was raised on the day for the local Rainbow Ward at QEQM and the Thanet branch of the RSPCA.
