KWAF Festive Events

November 17, 2022/in KWAF, Whole School/by Dean Inns

WREATH WORKSHOPS

Following our very successful wreath workshops last year, we’re bringing them back to you for 2022! Due to their popularity, this time we’ll be running 3 sessions

  1. Friday 2nd Dec @ 7.30pm till 9pm
  2. Saturday 3rd Dec @ 2.30pm -5pm
  3. Saturday 3rd Dec @ 7.30pm till 9pm

Tickets are £45 including all the support, materials, a glass of mulled wine and festive nibbles. There will also be a bar throughout the evening, so ideal as a group night out.

Tickets are available to buy through this link. If you are organising a group, in order to have group table set up ahead of the event, please can you assign a group leader/group to buy whole group tickets or use a group name and make reference to that name when ordering via email.

Any people happy to help during a workshop can attend a fun demo evening and have the opportunity to make their own wreath at a discounted price.

CHRISTMAS TREES

Orders are now being taken for Christmas trees. The cut off for orders is Monday 28th November.

Feedback to date is that the trees have been amazing quality, so we hope you’ll order yours through the link below.

KWAF FESTIVE RAFFLE

KWAF are organising our annual Festive raffle and we need you! Funds raised from this year’s raffle will go towards equipment for the science department, this will benefit all students including those studying for GCSEs to enhance their curriculum.

You can help in two ways –

Donating a prize:

Do you work for/own a company who could donate a raffle prize?  Maybe a family friend or relative could donate an item? Many organisations have Community Investment teams and policies which could help us. It could be monetary value or a gift card?  ANYTHING would be very well received.

If you feel you can help with a donation please email kwaf@kwschool.co.uk with the details.

Buying tickets:

Raffle tickets will go on sale on Sunday 18 November, purchasable using the following link:

Raffle – KWAF Festive Raffle 2022 (peoplesfundraising.com).

Tickets are £2 each, the star prize is a 64gb iPad.

The draw will be made on Thursday 15 December, allowing for time for prizes to be collected before the term ends.

ALTERNATIVE FESTIVE WORKSHOPS

If you or your friends want to join in the creative, festive fun but making a wreath is not your thing, there are alternative workshops being hosted on the 2nd and 3rd December (please see below). Please book directly with Caroline Lawrence.

KWAF Fireworks Night

November 17, 2022/in KWAF, News, Whole School/by Dean Inns

The event took place on Friday November 4, and featured pyrotechnics designed to produce the visual effects of everyday fireworks with less noise. The evening was a great success with over 1,800 people in attendance and helped towards this year’s fundraising target for the school’s science and music departments.

A massive thank you to all the Parental Volunteers who helped make the event a success but especially Ellie Renshaw (KWAF Chair) and Dean Inns, James Bullock and Danny Cain from the school for making the evening possible.

If you missed it this year, we hope to see you at the event next year.
