HIGHCLARE SCHOOL’s Got Style – and raises money for their charity

The pupils and sixth formers at Highclare School have been working hard to stage their own amazing fashion show to raise money for their school charity “The Kampala Children’s Centre”, which helps provide homes and education for the vunerable young orphaned children in Uganda.

The fashion show was a great success, taking place on Friday 7th May at the Ramada Hotel, Penns Lane, Sutton Coldfield. With the help of local businesses, parents, staff and friends, the pupils have raised a staggering £3,500 for their charity.

The charity are so appreciative of their efforts that they are sending a member of the charity to be presented with a cheque at school assembly on Friday 18th June at 9.00 am.

Senior Prefect, Becky Soen, who has already had a number of professional modelling assignments herself, said “We all wanted to do something that would raise much needed funds for these children. There is such a big difference in their lifestyle to ours, so we are using our talents to help them as much as we can. We are thrilled that our efforts have raised such a worthwhile sum”.
