It’s the end of another busy week at Oriel and we finished on a high note with the fundraiser for the Haiti earthquake appeal. I feel very proud of all of you for thinking of helping others less fortunate than yourselves.
This week, I’m handing over to Jamie Skinner (Year 8 ) who worked tirelessly to ensure that Oriel did its bit to support this good cause. Jamie also took some photos of the most outrageous hats, so the pictures will follow. We’re really proud of you, Jamie! Thank you for the report.
Haiti Non School Uniform Day/ Hats For Haiti
On Friday we held a non school uniform day to raise money for the recent Haiti Earthquake.We started in the morning by making sure that everyone was charged the correct amount as we halved the price of non-uniform for students and staff who wore a hat for the day.
We got going and lots of people were wearing non-school uniform but some were wearing the most weird and wacky hats. This included Miss KB’S (our school librarian) bookmark hat and a lot of sombreros in Year 11!
All in all, the day was a huge success and we raised over £500!!!! We hope to send the money to the Haiti Earthquake Appeal by next Friday! Thank you to everyone who donated so generously to this event.

Friday was great, hope we can do it again for another charity sometime.
