Charities
Girls are strongly encouraged
to think about the wider world and particularly about those less fortunate than themselves.
Charity work has always formed a core part of the WGHS community.
Encouraging the girls to use their ingenuity and energy to raise funds for charities has always been a tradition of the school, and the girls are proud of the contribution they make to local, national and international charities.
The Charities Committee (represented by each form) provides opportunities for girls to actively take part in the social, moral, spiritual and cultural part of their education.
There is an established programme of charity events in the school calendar. In addition, groups of girls, from across the year groups, seek opportunities to arrange ad hoc charity events such as dance shows, bun sales, raf es, ‘movie lunchtimes’ and other fun initiatives.
The annual charity programme culminates
with the showcase Foundation Charity Fayre ‘Raise for Life’ event, which, organised and led
by a senior student committee from WGHS and QEGS, raises signi cant amounts for the Teenage Cancer Trust and Cancer Research UK.
