KEVI students supported the Morpeth Rotary Club at the Morpeth Christmas Light Switch On during Saturday 16 November. The students volunteered their time to dress up in the Rotary Club mascot costumes. The money raised will go towards the Mayor’s Charity, which this year is the Oswin Project. The Rotarians who escorted them around the crowds in their costumes were very impressed with their conduct.
Several sttudents also supported the event playing in the Ellington Colliery Band.
Committed to working with our community partners we are delighted to welcome Morpeth Rotary Club into assemblies in the coming weeks. The Rotary Club has supported a number of students with their own fundraising for projects like M10, providing opportunities for Post 16 students to develop their own leadership skills via the RYLA programme and made charitable donations to a number of organisations our students are affiliated with.
To support our mission to develop Accomplished Students, Rotary Club have spoken to students about their Young Writer, Young Photography and Young Artist competitions.
The theme of the competition this year is ‘Wonderful Water’ and this has many links to a number of curricula in school. The prizes for the winning entrants are workshops with local experts; great for supporting students early career development.
Information packs are available from [email protected] or applications form and privacy notices can be found here.
We are also supporting the Wrap Up campaign where preloved winter coats can be donated in school between 15 – 24 October.
