Pupils at Oswestry School have raised over £1,000 for the PDSA (The People’s Dispensary for Sick Animals).
Led by the Interact team - the junior branch of the Rotary Club of Oswestry - pupils spent a term organising numerous events, including a ‘Send a Rose’ directive where pupils and staff could send a rose to their friends as a token of their appreciation for each other. Each rose was delivered personally by a member of Interact team, along with a message, on the morning of February 14 and raised £80.
In addition there were bake sales and an own clothes day when pupils from Bellan House had an opportunity to dress up as their pet or favourite animal. At the senior school pupils wore blue and pink colours to show their support for the charity and across both sites this raised almost £900.
The activities culminated at the end of term with a showing of High School Musical when happy viewers were able to buy snacks, drinks and popcorn while they watched the movie.
PDSA education officer, Anna Baggott, received the cheque for £1,075.81 from the Interact group following an assembly to the pupils about the history of the charity and the work it currently conducts.
