Enterprise Day
Thank you to all concerned for the Enterprise Day on Friday 16 March 2012. Once more it was a great success. Students and tutor groups were given the opportunity to create ways to raise money for charities, and it is a competition between forms as part of our on-going Inter-form.
This year the money raised has contributed to the Heath Park Foundation which is a trust fund being set up in school in order to provide scholarships and support our students through to higher education. Donations will also be made to New Cross Neo-Natal Unit and Brain Tumour UK. We managed to raise well in excess of £5000 which is a fantastic achievement. Thank you.
