The pupils started with a range of team-building challenges, brilliantly set up by Mr Maw, Mr Marley, Mr Taylor-Young, Mr Best de Wynter and Mr Gairdner. Their time and energy helped make the evening not only meaningful but memorable and engaging. A huge thank you is owed to them all.
Our intrepid fundraisers then queued up with mugs and bowls at the makeshift soup kitchen to collect a simple supper before heading off to their respective areas to make their sleeping arrangements.
The girls settled under the sports hall veranda, offering some protection from the elements, whist the boys began by the Terrace Wall. However, at around 3am, torrential rain forced a reluctant but necessary move into the Great Space to complete the night.
Thanks to the incredible spirit of the pupils, the generosity of supporters, and the dedication of staff, the event raised over £4,000 for Centrepoint. It was a powerful reminder of the importance of empathy, community, and action.
