The six Year 11 students potted over 100 golf balls in one hour, making more than £35 for the charity. And they weren’t the only ones supporting the cause at our school, which is part of the West Norfolk Academies Trust.
“The Student Council members in Years 7 to 10 organised a Guess How Many Sweets in the Jar fundraiser,” said Claire Whitehouse, who is Assistant Headteacher at Marshland.
“Two of the Student Council took this round to forms throughout the week to get students’ guesses to raise money for Children in Need. The lucky winner received the jar of sweets on Friday.”
The students rounded off their fundraising activities on Friday 15 November with a bake sale, bringing this year’s total to an impressive £345.
“They organised donations of cakes for the day, and a team of five Year 10 students were helping to sell cakes on the day,” continued Mrs Whitehouse.
Children in Need has become a regular fixture in the Marshland calendar, with the school also raising more than £300 last year.
“We always love to show our support and help Children in Need each year, as their mission to help ensure every child in the UK is safe, happy, secure, and has the opportunities they need to reach their potential is something we truly believe in at Marshland High School,” added Mrs Whitehouse. “It is an amazing charity, and we’re glad we can help out in some way.”
