Over the past year, Emanuel has undertaken several successful charitable initiatives which both taught and demonstrated generosity and empathy to the wider community. Alongside classic events like the holiday fair, sponge the teacher, Movember, and the summer sleepout, last year we saw the debut of exciting new events like the MacMillan Cake Morning and Abseil For St George’s. Some notable achievements included Emanuel being one of the top schools to raise money for Movember, and raising over 5x our fundraising goal for the Abseil For St George’s. We are pleased to continue to support Water Aid, LMK, our partner schools in India, and Giant Strides.
The two year period of House charities culminated in a win for Marlborough, raising over £1000 for The Ocean Cleanup. The competition resets this year, with the following charities chosen by the 8 houses:
Drake – MIND
Nelson – Shelter
Howe – MacMillan
Marlborough – Ocean Cleanup
Clyde – WWF
Lyons – Inner Voices
Rodney – Cancer Research
Wellington – Kidney Cancer UK
As always, we encourage any student who believes strongly in a charitable cause to join the charity committee or to contact Mr Shetzer, Charity Coordinator and & Teacher of Physics.
