A group of Sixth Form students are hoping to raise thousands of
pounds for a once in a lifetime educational trip to India in
2011.
The girls from Years 12 and 13 are each trying to raise £3, 500
to take part in the trip with World Challenge, an expedition
company which offers young people the chance to learn life and
leadership skills outside of the classroom.
In a recent group fundraising effort, the sixth formers set up
stalls selling sweets to Junior Girls, and they are all putting in
individual efforts including car boot sales, skydives, abseils, bag
packing at shops, and car washes - anything to raise as much money
as possible.
The group of students are planning a trip to India which will
see them embark on a journey of self discovery. The girls will face
a series of mental and physical challenges, taking them outside
their comfort zones and teaching them how to overcome adversity,
cope with new environments and become more aware of both their
strengths and weaknesses. The life skills they learn will not only
aid personal growth, but can help secure university places and
impress future employers. Girls will build strong friendships and
gain confidence - all while having the time of their lives!
World Challenge encourage students to raise the money to fund
their trip themselves, as getting involved in planning and
fundraising their way to the experience of a lifetime is just as
much a part of the educational experience as the expedition itself.
They offer pupils a unique fundraising programme to provide them
with lots of fundraising help and advice along the
way.
