CHARITY DAY – FRIDAY 22 MARCH

There will be a Charity Day on Friday 22nd March in Aid of Lumos, a charity set up to find alternatives to placing children in orphanages and care homes, and the SW Hospice Precious Lives Appeal. Students may bring in £2 on Friday 22nd to come into School in home clothes.

Sadly, we have seen a rise in some students forgetting to bring in their charitable donation over the last couple of terms, so please could you help to support the Charity Committee and our chosen charities by reminding your child to bring money in.

Best wishes, Truro School Student Charity Committee
