Last week, we took on the challenge of an open air dance to raise money for Comic Relief.
Thankfully the weather was in our favour and 525 students and over 40 staff took part in the performance on the school yard – dancing to Shakira’s ‘It’s Time For Africa’.
Check out the photo gallery.
As part of our work with Making Winter Warmer, we are raising awareness of homelessness but creating a knitted installation in Newcastle City Centre.
We need knitters or croheters to donate anything they can to our cause. We would really appreciate lengths of knits (a bit like scarves and granny squares). We also need little knitted animals and people – anything made of wool!!!
If you can help, please provide your items before the Easter break, 27th March.
We raised £137.78 for Shelter’s ‘Slippers for Shelter’ day at the end of last term.
What a great selection of slippers in 5D!
Well done to everyone who took part!
Well done to everyone who took part in the non-school uniform day on Friday. We raised £472.23 for Children in Need!!
On Thursday 23rd October Newminster went pink! Our pink themed non uniform day raised funds for Breast Cancer Awareness and the outfits were fabulous – including Mr Dick teaching football in a pink tutu as well as an array of pink hair around the school.
Thank you – you all looked fabulous! 
On Thursday 23rd October, we will be holding a pink themed non-uniform day in aid of Breast Cancer Support.
Please come wearing pink and we are asking for a £1 contribution – all proceeds that we raise will go to Breast Cancer Support.
A Macmillan coffee morning was held on Friday 26th September. Students did themselves proud and brought in a huge range of cakes and biscuits that they had made. We had an extended morning break and raised almost £240 in just 25 minutes! A cheque has now been forwarded to Macmillan Cancer Support.
Thank you – you’re amazing!
Congratulations to everyone who took part in the sponsored walk on Friday 19th September. A staggering 4423 laps of the course were completed and an even more impressive £2400 raised, allowing us to make a £1000 donation to the Paediatric Unit at the RVI – one of the largest single donations that the school has ever made.
Thank you to everyone for their efforts and hard work!
