| Friday 12 February is set to be a school day
with a difference for our Principal and Heads of Year! |
 |
(left to right) 'CVC Pupils'
Corinne Davidson (deputising for Hannah Compton), Lynn Stewart,
Stephen Munday, Ms Phull, Mary Swarbrick and Anne Jones. |
| Pupils at the college are used to non-uniform
days during the year to raise funds for named charities. This
time, it is the teachers' turn! Executive Principal Stephen
Munday together with all five Heads of Year will wear school
uniform for the whole day. They will attend some lessons and
join in various pupil activities. |
| The idea is to raise money for four worthy causes,
as highlighted below. |
| Please do give generously
to one of our chosen charities if you are able to do so. The
school would like to raise a total of at least £1,000
(and much more) if at all possible. Each of the following
links will take you to a JustGiving 'Uniform Day' appeal page
where Gift Aid can be added to your donation of choice if
you are a UK taxpayer. |

East
Anglia's Children's Hospices (Charity Registration
No. 1069284) "EACH has three children's hospice care
services based at Milton in Cambridge, Quidenham in Norfolk
and Ipswich in Suffolk. EACH is a registered charity that
relies on public support for the majority of its income. There
are an estimated 23,500 children in the UK who are not expected
to reach adulthood. Caring for a child or young person with
a life-threatening illness, often for 24 hours a day, seven
days a week, can put a huge strain on family life. Life can
become governed by the timetable of nursing and medical needs.
Careers may have to be put on hold, healthy brothers and sisters
can feel left out and regular family activities and holidays
can be rare. During all of this, families are going through
a process of grieving. EACH's three multi-disciplinary care
teams help local children with life-threatening conditions
and complex healthcare needs, and their families with the
emotional and physical challenges they face, helping them
to make the most of life. They welcome the whole family for
a short break together or time to themselves in a home-from-home
environment or in the comfort of their own home. They offer
a diverse range of supportive care including: short break
care, specialist play, music therapy, care at end of life,
telephone support, practical help and bereavement support
for all family members, including siblings and grandparents."

Teenage
Cancer Trust. (Charity Registration No. 1062559)
Many students at the school have been keen to support this
particular charity and it has featured many times in their
fundraising activities. "Every day in the UK, six teenagers
are diagnosed with cancer. At Teenage Cancer Trust, we understand
that cancer doesn't stop these teenagers being teenagers.
We know that young people have a much better chance if they
are treated by teenage cancers experts, in an environment
tailored to their needs. So we have created specialist units
that aren't like ordinary cancer wards. Everything about them
has been designed to give teenagers the very best chance of
a positive outcome and we want every young person with cancer
in this country to have that chance." Donate
