On June 20, Sixth Form students staged a Cultural Day to raise funds for the charity, Teens Unite, which has provided invaluable support to the family of one of our very own.   Both Sixth Form students and teachers participated in our first-ever fashion walk, showcasing and celebrating the vibrant range of colours and traditions on display.  The staging of this event allowed students to not only complete their BTEC Unit 4 coursework but provided lots of opportunity to develop a range of skills such as time management, organisation and leadership, which are important life skills to prepare them for Post 18 Transition.

Cultural Day was a great success, and I’m really pleased with how the event turned out. We were able to raise over £150, which will be donated to Teens Unite. They are the only organisation in the UK that provides ongoing support to young people aged 13–24 during and after cancer.

We had such a great time showing off our dresses. It was wonderful to see the teachers getting involved too. This is definitely a memory I’ll cherish for the rest of my life.
