St Cuthbert's RC High School

Mary's Meals as our Advent charity

Advent Charity Work

Staff are completely overwhelmed at the number of students who have contributed to the fundraising for our Advent charity, Mary’s Meals.

At present, we have a running total of £1105 and still have a week to go.

Special mention must go to Mr Britton’s form who made £62 during a short break time just by selling cakes.

Charlie Clift was star baker, bringing in lots of cupcakes and a big chocolate cake which went down a storm with the customers. Watch this space for a final total next week. 

Mary's Meals sets up school feeding projects in some of the world's poorest communities, where hunger and poverty prevent children from gaining an education.

We Will Rock You

Tickets for the school production of 'We Will Rock You' are selling fast. Please contact the school office for orders. The show is on for three nights: Tuesday 13 - Thursday 15 December at 7.30 in the school hall. It promises to be a fantastic production featuring many of our favourite Queen songs performed by our talented school band. Please support our pupils who have worked incredibly hard over the last few months.
