Felpham Community College have completed a busy and productive half term by holding a non-school uniform day, fundraising for the NSPCC.

Held on Friday 24^th May, students and staff were invited to pay £1 and wear non-uniform, with everyone being encouraged to wear green in support of the NSPCC logo. Student Council Reps supported the fundraising by helping to collect in the donations, and the Sixth Form ‘Make a Difference’ committee co-ordinated and promoted the event.

It has been a busy Spring term at Felpham with charity work, with the Charity Talent Show taking place just before Easter and a group of our students also supporting the ‘Save The Post Office’ evening event at the beginning of May.

Imogen Orde, Student Leadership in charge of Charity commented:

“We hold lots of charity events throughout the year and it is a great way to raise awareness, have fun and fundraise at the same time. We are now busy preparing for the busy and popular Youth Action Week which takes place in July.”

NSPCC

On Tuesday 14^th May, a group of FCC students supported a local community charity event, held at St Mary’s Centre in Felpham Village.

‘Save the Felpham Post Office’ – a local community initiative, held the event as part of their ongoing campaign. The sold-out event was ‘An Audience with Bill Nighy’.

A group of year 12 FCC students helped with the setting up of the event and welcoming guests. They also provided, along with a student from year 8, the musical entertainment for the beginning of the evening. Karina Natkinis – year 8 student, and Eloise Lyons and Libby Wood – both from year 12, performed their winning pieces from the hugely popular ‘Felpham’s Got Talent’ show which took place last term in support of the campaign.

The evening was a fantastic success and it was brilliant that our FCC students were able to join in. They were also lucky enough to meet Bill Nighy and chat to him about all thing’s showbiz!
