Text Santa Christmas Jumper Day

Yesterday the college held their “Text Santa” Christmas Jumper Day to help raise money for some amazing charities. People paid a £1 to wear their festive knits and join in the festive fun around college. Well done to everyone who took part and donated to the help of the charities.
Text Santa supports the amazing work of Macmillan Cancer Support, Make a Wish Foundation & Save the Children. All three charities work hard all year through to support people around the world who need it.
o   Macmillan Cancer Support helps the people and their families affected by cancer from giving them high quality information  about their cancer to providing support to everyone involved to ensure they feel fully supported during such a terrible time.
o   Make a Wish Foundation grants wishes to children fighting life threatening conditions. Whether it’s starring in their own films, walking with dinosaurs, going on an amazing holiday, meeting a celebrity hero, or having a life-changing bedroom makeover; the wishes are varied, personal and, most importantly, magical
o   Save the Children works in more than 120 countries providing support to children providing a variety of help. Save the Children help provide an education to children who were missing out previously, better access to health care for children, protection to children who are in danger, neglected or exploited and much more.
The TV show will take place tomorrow night featuring a variety of stars doing their bit to help raise money for such deserving charities. Visit http://www.textsanta.co.uk/ for more information on where your money is going.
As well as wearing our festive knits at college we held a “Design a Christmas Jumper” competition within college with a festive treat for the winners. A prize was given to the best jumper design from staff and best jumper design from a student. There were lots of amazing designs so well done to all who participated in the competition. The winner of the staff competition was Barry Bratt and the student winner was Sheridan Stainsby so well done to you both J
 
 
 
 
We will open the book. Its pages are blank. We are going to put words on them ourselves. The book is called Opportunity and its first chapter is called New Year's Day.
 
 
We wish you all a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year.
Hoping 2016 brings you the best of luck !!!
