See our Septemberfest flashmob!
Just in case you missed it, here’s the fantastic finale to our Septemberfest this year. Great dancing, great fun! No wonder the whole city comes to Broughton High School events.
Volunteers needed
Ella Duffy, 6th year, is fundraising for a charity called Project Trust, with whom she will be volunteering in her gap year in Guyana. She needs volunteer supervisors for an event she is organizing for 13 December (Friday). This is a Christmas ‘Jingle Ball’, with live music from a few bands from within and outside school, and tickets will be sold to S4-S6 students from Broughton and other schools. She is required to have a 1:10 adult-to-young-person ratio. She currently has 15 teachers to help; she anticipates needing 15 more adult volunteers.
Would you would be willing to supervise from the balcony in the Hub, from 6:15pm (the event starts at 6:30) until 9:30pm? Please drop us an ‘intouch’ e-mail if you can, and we’ll let Ella know she has more help.
Come lead the Comms Committee!
We need a born organiser. Someone needs to ensure that we meet once a term, circulate agendas to keep us focused, and take a note of meetings to share with people who can’t attend. Now and again this person would also liaise with the PC Chair. Could you be this person, the contact point for your Communications group? Please say the word if you’d like to help us!
