Dragon’s Apprentice – quiz night
On Thursday 12th December some of our year 12 students put their entrepreneurial skills to the test by running a quiz night to raise money for a charity called – ‘Thin Blue Paw’ https://www.thinbluepaw.org.uk/
It is a national charity and supports serving and retired police dogs from across the UK.
Dragon’s Apprentice pairs teams of Year 12 students with local business people (a Dragon) and each team is then matched with a local charity or community group. They are then tasked with developing business strategies and delivering their ideas to turn £100 of seed capital into £1,000 or more, with all profit generated going directly to the team’s charity.
The target to raise £1,000 was exceeded from ticket sales, bar sales and raffle and participants enjoyed a chip supper from Godfrey’s of Harpenden.
The sixth form students were a credit to the school and worked well as a team to put on a great event for the community.
