Tutor Fundraising

At Oaklands all tutor groups are encouraged to undertake  fundraising for charity.

Over the last two years 8 St Dominic have been particularly successful, with two main events.

The first one was a Year 7 sponsored silence which was suggested by our tutor and the funds were donated to support the relief efforts for the devastating earthquake in Syria/Turkey in 2023. This sponsored silence would be a record-breaking one for tutor group fundraising events raising a whopping £363.70 through the generous donations of parents and carers.

The second fundraiser was in April 2024, when Year 8 students organised an Easter Egg sale to raise the Easter spirit in our school. The money raised was donated to Cancer Research. The sale was hugely successful, with Cadbury’s Creme Eggs selling very quickly and the raffle of a big bundle of eggs, and 2 chocolate rabbits helping 8 St Dominic students to  raise £63.90 for our cause.

Giving to charity is an important part of life at Oaklands, it ties in with our Catholic Social Teachings, especially Solidarity and Option for the Poor. It is wonderful to see how generous everyone can be, and that our contributions go to charities that are very close to our hearts.
