Charity Ambassadors
Charity Ambassadors 2024-2025
Our Charity Ambassadors have been selected by the School Council after reviewing each application letter. The purpose of the Charity Ambassadors is to guide us by providing ideas and support on how we can help others in our community and those globally. The Charity Ambassadors demonstrate our school values of love and value for all, aspire, flourish and shine, learn, remember and do and to share faith and hope by encouraging us to think of others and those who may need our support.
Charity Ambassador meetings are held with Miss Kealey.
September 2024
Our Charity Ambassadors are eager and excited to start making a positive impact on the lives of others. They will be introducing the school to our local partnering charity Nightsafe during a worship, promoting the donation of food and cleaning products. They will be sitting down with the head of Nightsafe to review our long term plan and suggest any amendments they think need to be adjusted. They have already written and sent out letters to local stores asking to borrow a shopping trolley to be used as the collection box. The girls are now promoting generous donations of food and cleaning products for our local partnered charity NightSafe.
World Mental Health Day
The girls have worked alongside school council for world mental health day to promote the donation collections to our local charity Nightsafe discussing the impact it will have on the young adults there.
The Zuri Project Uganda
The girls have worked hard in creating a PowerPoint explaining the agriculture for the children at Kishunju Primary School Uganda to be shared by teachers in their classes. They have also worked alongside our fabulous kitchen staff in providing some local cuisines from Uganda for children to try such as matoke and porridge. They have also created a video montage of the food eaten and favoured by children at St Leonard's which has been sent to Kishunju Primary School Uganda who are currently doing the same.
Here is a tour from Mercy of Kishunju Primary Schools gardens where they grow the majority of their food used to cook breakfast and lunch for the children and teachers.
Below is a young girl called Hope who is preparing morning porridge for over 300 children before she starts her school day.
A taste of Uganda!
Thank you to our amazing Charity Ambassadors who have organised for children to have a small taste of Uganda at lunch time. The ambassadors worked with our fabulous kitchen staff to make matoke and porridge which is eaten by the children at Kishunju Primary School. The children loved it!
