CHARITABLE students from secondary schools joined Warwick Rotary Club for lunch.
The final year students from Warwick School, Kings High, Myton School and Kingsley, together with their teachers, joined rotarians for lunch last week.
This was a chance for students to share what they had been doing for charity and the local community.
Warwick School support a number of charities and run events during the year to raise cash. They are organising an art auction, on November 21 for “Kissing it Better”, in Movember they are raising awareness of Prostate cancer, and doing a sleep out for Helping Hands.
Kings High also support “Kissing it Better” and visit residents in care homes and hospital. Myton students are supporting Sarcoma UK in memory of a pupil who recently died of this cancer, raise money for Children in Need and send books to Ukraine. Kingsley School organise an annual charity ball and last year raised £1,200 for Molly Olly’s wishes.
In turn, rotary president Jon Wassall talked about rotary and outlined the projects for young people run by the club both at home and abroad. This includes delivering dictionaries to Year 4’s in junior schools, youth speaking competitions, and the Midsummer Schools concert, as well as funding the re-roofing of the school in Bo, Sierra Leone.
