Team Unity for Orange
Team Unity for Orange comprising Kiki Chen, Shreya Yelamarthi, Danial Azam, Matthew Fong, Joshua Bontemps and Sofia Amin, were chosen to represent Hazelwick School for the St Catherine’s Hospice Youth Enterprise Challenge with the aim of raising as much money as possible over 11 weeks.
During this period, they organised a wide range of events for the students at Hazelwick such as bake sales, hot chocolate stand, car wash, culture day, fun run and more
The Sixth Form Culture Day was a great event, reflecting the diverse nature of our school. It was lovely to see all the different cultural dress and watch the fabulous performances. The Fun Run was another fantastic event with over 300 students getting involved in raising money and joining in with the run on the day!
The team have done a fantastic job which they couldn’t have achieved without the help and support of our wonderful staff, students and their families!
The Youth Enterprise Awards evening took place on Thursday 24th April. The team gave a fantastic presentation highlighting all their incredible hard work over the last 11 weeks! Awards were made in a number of categories; the most prestigious being the award for the most amount fundraised. I am delighted to report that, for the thirteenth year running Hazelwick won this award as well as the award for pound per pupil, raising an incredible total of £8072.56 (inclusive of Gift Aid). This is a truly amazing result; their target was £1500, so to exceed that by over £6,500 is phenomenal. The students have worked incredibly hard showing total dedication and commitment to raising as much money as they could. The total raised by the 9 schools participating in the Youth Challenge was £28,215.19.
We are immensely proud of these students; they are an absolute credit to our school and deserve every praise for their incredible efforts.
Congratulations!
Ms A. Fearon
