Young Leaders Award
Chloe Moore in Year 11 was chosen to represent Priesthorpe at the regional FA Young Leadership Camp. They were so impressed with her that Chloe was chosen to go to the national FA Young Leadership Camp in the summer. Chloe was also presented with a signed England shirt by a member of the female England team.
 
Dreams & Teams
Fundraising over the last school-year has raised over £1,800 - over 26,000 Rand! Non-uniform day (Sport Relief), a large donation from a speaker that staff had on a Training Day, Year 9’s magnificent fundraising efforts and the recent ex-pupils versus staff charity soccer game are just a few examples of how the money has been collected.

A big thank you to each and every one of you!

Much more information has recently arrived back from our partner school and we have decided to make the following donations:
A fund to support pupils who cannot play in away sports fixtures because they cannot afford to pay for transport
£250
A fund to provide a snack and water to pupils at the school before any extra-curricular sports activity
£500
A fund to continue financing the feeding and watering of Mqedandabe's final year pupils before their end of year examinations
£300
Footballs (old boys donation):
£100
Funding towards new netball posts - the girls are again working towards retaining their title as Kwazulunatal State Champions
£100
Provision of volleyballs, rugby balls and cricket equipment
£200
Funds towards re-levelling of the shale sports pitch
£350

I know the above will have a massive impact. Thank you again!
If anyone would like to be involved in fundraising or sponsorship in any way, please contact Mr Goldthorp, Miss Metcalfe or Mr Pyatt at school.
