EAGLES house has been work­ing hard to raise money for our two cho­sen char­i­ties for the year — these being Can­cer Research UK and The Breast Can­cer Care Foun­da­tion. Our first ven­ture which was the mam­moth KES to Paris run­ning, row­ing & cycling event raised a stag­ger­ing £1203.76. This was then fol­lowed up by a very suc­cess­ful cake sale organ­ised wholly by Hol­lie Tyrell and Chloe Men­zies (both in 8JLS) and they raised £48.59. Our most recent effort saw us sell­ing 137 char­ity wrist­bands in aid of World Can­cer Day and this raised £274. This busy time has meant we have raised so far this year a stu­pen­dous total of £1526.35.
On behalf of Eagles house can I thank any­one who spon­sored, ate cake, put money in a bucket, wore a bracelet, ran, rowed or cycled… every lit­tle did indeed help, and it’s thanks to you that we can split this money between the two char­i­ties. We are hop­ing to get one more event in before the end of the year to pass the magic £2000… so watch this space!
Eagles rock!

Mar­gate Rotary Club Swimathon Pre­sen­ta­tion Evening

Details

rotary 2007 Feb­ru­ary 2016 — North­down House

Luke Adding­ton, Freddy Enever and Jes­sica Ster­ling rep­re­sented Enjewel India at this event; they gave an excel­lent pre­sen­ta­tion to the assem­bled guests and received a cheque from the Rotar­i­ans to go towards the Enjewel India funds. Both Enjewel and many other stu­dents from school com­pleted a swimathon at Harts­down last Octo­ber and this event was held to present the many char­i­ties with their cheques. We have sup­ported the Rotary Swimathon every year since its incep­tion ten years ago and we will be swim­ming again in mid Octo­ber 2016. It would be bril­liant this year if we can use all six lanes for the one hour relay swim and have a min­i­mum of four stu­dents in each one (a free early lunch pass for the rest of the aca­d­e­mic year is given to every stu­dent who com­pletes it). Spon­sor forms and let­ters will be dis­trib­uted in Sep­tem­ber 2016.

KES to Paris!

breast cancer200Thurs­day 10th Decem­ber saw 31 stu­dents from Eagles House embark on a mas­sive chal­lenge to raise money for our two cho­sen char­i­ties this year — Can­cer Research UK and Breast Can­cer Care.

The chal­lenge was sim­ple — to travel the dis­tance from our school to Paris in six hours by RUN­NING to Dover, ROW­ING to Calais and CYCLING to Paris. The 31 stu­dents worked in ten relay teams in the school fit­ness stu­dio and under­took five 30 minute shifts dur­ing the day cov­er­ing all the dis­ci­plines to cover the dis­tance. It was a mas­sive task and by the end of the day the stu­dents were utterly exhausted but they achieved their goal.

In total the stu­dents trav­elled 398 km (85 km run­ning, 58 km row­ing and 255 km cycling) — our tar­get was only 378 km! The stu­dents were mag­nif­i­cent dur­ing this gar­gan­tuan effort and now the big task is col­lect­ing in all the spon­sor money which we hope to exceed at least £700. Dona­tions to our cause can also be made via our fundrais­ing pages on line at www​.just​giv​ing​.com/​k​e​s​e​a​g​l​e​s OR www​.vir​gin​money​giv​ing​.com.

The stu­dent roll of hon­our for this event was Oliver Bar­rett, Abi­gail Carl­ton, Baran Cicek, Jake Con­sta­ble, Aston Fred­er­icks, Cal­lum Friend, Danny Gilbert-​Wynde, Mar­cos Green,Leo Hewitt, Syd­ney Hod­der, Alfie Hughes, Chelsea Irv­ing, Ryan Jones, Archie Lucas, Ethan Macabe-​Fisher, Lily Marsh, Tamzin Moor, Lewis North, Alfie Pen­nie, Claire Rus­sell, Lewis Rye, Jamil Saidy­jah, Gemma South­wood, Kai Stokes, Jade Styles, Nicole Thomas, Noah Turner, Rowan Tyler, James Warnes, Paige Williams, Tia Woodcock.

Char­lie Richardson

Details

It is with great sad­ness that we have learnt of the death of one of our year 10 stu­dents, Char­lie Richard­son, who died this week­end fol­low­ing a road traf­fic acci­dent on Fri­day night.

Char­lie was a very impor­tant, much loved mem­ber of our school fam­ily and we are dev­as­tated by this tragic loss. Our thoughts and prayers are with his fam­ily at this dread­ful time. Char­lie was a witty, lively, charm­ing boy who always had a huge smile on his face. He was also some­one who had those extra spe­cial human attrib­utes – he was kind, gen­er­ous and com­pletely loyal. We are all going to miss him dread­fully – his death is a huge loss to our whole school.

We had a whole school assem­bly this morn­ing with all stu­dents and staff – it was very impor­tant for us all to come together as a com­mu­nity to share our immense sor­row and grief.

We will be hold­ing a Cel­e­bra­tion of Life assem­bly for Char­lie in school and we will also be col­lect­ing money so that we can ded­i­cate some last­ing memo­r­ial in King Ethel­bert so that Char­lie will always be remem­bered by us all.
