PENZANCE CARES

This term we are excited to run with our Penzance Cares initiative. This year we have chosen to support the following organisations. In order to raise funds for these organisations we have been selling 5 wooden, engraved collectable badges representing the symbols of South Africa.

Bobbi Bear
Pathways
Highway Hospice
The Blue Bundu Brigade

At the end of the fundraiser the winning classes in JP and SP will receive a pizza party. The most exciting initiative of all is the chance to wet our very own symbols of Penzance… the staff!

Seen below are a few of our brave volunteers this year: Mr Havemann, Ms Nelson and Miss Campbell.
