Every year the Friends of St Wystan’s work in collaboration with members of staff and St Wystan’s Governing Body with the aim of raising money for projects to be carried out for the School. All of these projects are aimed at enhancing the learning experience of the children.
Due to the ongoing pandemic, the normal fundraising that has been so successful in previous years has unfortunately not been possible and the Friends of St Wystan’s, along with the Governing Body want to do all that they can to continue to raise much needed funds, albeit in a different manner which works around the current Covid obstacles.
After much discussion with the Friends and wider St Wystan’s community we have decided to create a ‘St Wystan’s to Santa’ Challenge over the Christmas Holidays. Funds collected from this challenge will solely be used for special projects, such as IT renewal. We have focused on a Christmas theme as a result of the School not being able to celebrate in the usual festive ways. It was decided, that as a School Community we aim to cover the distance from St Wystan’s to the North Pole – a total of 2,710 Miles!
This challenge aims to get the whole school to work together and reach their respective targets. We have split the target distance depending on year groups, and each individual target are as follows:
Class Targets
| Kindergarten | 5 miles |
|---|---|
| Form 1 | 10 miles |
| Form 2 | 15 miles |
| Form 3 | 20 miles |
| Form 4 | 30 miles |
| Form 5 | 35 miles |
| Form 6 | 50 miles |
| Members of Staff | 100 miles |

We need you to spread the word out far and wide about the challenge to friends and family, it would be great to get as many sponsorship and donations for St Wystan’s as possible.
Share the JustGiving Link, make sure they put who they are donating money for!
