We are pleased to announce that Canterbury House has organised a clothes & shoe collection with www.Bag2School.com in order to raise funds for reading books for our Tutor Reading Programme.
Bag2School is the UK’s leading textile recycler and fundraiser working with schools, and since its inception in 1999 it has now paid out over £48 million.
As well as raising vitally needed funds for education, it also helps the environment by helping to divert unwanted textiles away from landfill. A recent DEFRA report has shown that textile collection schemes are helping to reduce the volume of textiles discarded as municipal solid waste. However, it is a fact that as a nation we still send 350,000 tonnes of textiles to landfill every year.
By getting involved in our Bag2School collection, you have an opportunity to sort through your cupboards and wardrobes and donate unwanted textiles – this can include adults’ and children’s clothes, shoes (tied together please), hats, belts, handbags and soft toys. In addition to raising much needed funds it will also raise awareness amongst our students of the benefits of recycling and reuse.
Please send students into school with items in bin liners or drop the items into the Bags2School bags instead at the front gates. The bags need to be left at the main gates where students enter school. You will be able to do this from 26th June up until 15th July.
Bag2School will be collecting from Christ the King on Tuesday 16th July – Our Mission Day.
Please bring your bag (or bags!) and help us have a really good collection.
We would like to congratulate our students on all their hard work and commitment to the rehearsals so far. We are excited about The Wizard of Oz and it really is going to be a fantastic show.
As we get closer to ‘Show Week’, there are a few important dates for the diary.
Please may we draw your attention to Sunday 28th January and Sunday 4th February 2023. We will rehearse from 9.30-3.30pm. Please make sure your child has lunch, snacks and drinks with them.
We also have days where they are off timetable for rehearsals and a performance for primary schools.
We appreciate this can be a busy time for all students involved and as always, value your continued support.
Please feel free to contact Mrs Stanley if you have any queries.
