Starting in September, the Year 13 business class began to organize an event for their A-level coursework. The class would have to raise funds and stage an event, in which they would be assessed and marked on. The students decided to stage a Valentine’s Party for the Sixth Formers, where all money raised would go to the Teenage Cancer Trust.

To raise money for the event they held three ‘Dress-down-Fridays’, for the Sixth Form where they could wear casual clothes for the day by paying just £1 each; this raised nearly £200. They also invited a guest speaker from the Teenage Cancer Trust to have a special assembly with the Sixth Form in order to raise awareness of the charity.

The party was held at Bar West One in Brentwood and had over 90 people attend the event. The feedback from the party was very positive and everyone had a great time. By organizing and staging the Valentine’s party, the business class raised £547.59 for the Teenage Cancer Trust.
