Another successful Shop ‘til You Drop with many new ideas showcased!!!

A revamped layout accommodated over 50 stalls which had the event buzzing all day, particularly in the marquee. The Prep school children had House Stalls and a BIG THANK YOU to parents, House Leaders and the children themselves, for helping out. Each House stall proved very popular and made a great contribution to the overall success of the day.

It was great to see such a Christmassy atmosphere everywhere. The Front Hall looked spectacular with the lovely Christmas tree, Christmas cakes and our very own Christmas stall selling West Hill Park Christmas puddings. Definitely a stall you’ll see again next year!! AND DID YOU SEE FATHER CHRISTMAS? Some 70 or so lucky children - from both Pre-Prep and Prep School – did!

The Silent Auction proved very profitable. More than 30 items raised more than £1000!! We hope those of you who were successful, enjoyed the excitement of bidding instead of buying a raffle ticket.

To all of you who have helped us during the year, as well as the parents and staff who helped on Friday and Saturday, A HUGE THANK YOU. Your contribution is extremely valuable and we hope you enjoyed the day.

So, GREAT NEWS that each of our chosen charities:-

· Jubilee Sailing Trust

· MS Society

· Naomi House

have received a cheque for £1,500!!!!

We were very proud to present the cheques to each charity at the whole school assembly before the end of term. The children will work with these charities for the rest of the academic year and the committee will soon be considering next year’s charities.

A DATE FOR YOUR DIARY…..
