Caritas Sleepout

Last night a group of our Year 8 students took up the challenge of sleeping out to raise funds for the work caritas are doing in the Philippines for the 'Build Back Better' relief programme. They were allowed a sleeping bag and tarpaulin and one other item to protect themselves from the elements.

The experience has given all who slept out a better understanding of the difficulties faced by others who are less fortunate than us around the world. We will all be looking forward to our own beds tonight!
