During the October holidays, a group of teachers including Miss McPhee and Miss Waters are going to the Ruhanga School in Rwanda. In order to help the children improve their education, they would like to collect full pencil cases to take to each child in the school (2000!). We will be coming round tutor groups next week to collect pencil cases.

Each pencil case should contain

• 2 pens
• 2 pencils
• a rubber
• a sharpener
• a note from either the individual or the tutor group

Any other stationary items that you would like to include.

We want to collect as many pencil cases as possible so that every child in the school will receive one. It is up to registration classes to decide how they would like to organise this - each pupil brings in a full pencil case or each pupil is responsible for an item of stationary and contributes to class pencil cases.

There will be house points up for grabs for classes who fill the most pencil cases.

The deadline for the pencil cases is Friday 4th October. All pencil cases will be collected from registration teachers by the end of the day on the Friday.
