  • YPI Charity Winners

    date posted: Friday 10 May 2013

    Hayes School has now been involved in the YPI (Youth Philanthropy Project) for two years; it has been growing from strength to strength at Hayes.The project involves students researching local charities, visiting a selected charity and devising a pitch for their chosen charity. The winning charity receives £3,000 from Intu Bromley (formerly known as the Glades).On Thursday 9th May 2013, we had the Year 9 final which was a huge success. It was incredibly impressive and moving; the students’ commitment and enthusiasm created an electric atmosphere. The judges had a very difficult task of picking a winner as every group truly was a winner.  However, they finally made a decision and 9OMG supporting ‘Bromley Y’ came first followed by 9NJA supporting ‘Demelza’.It really is a fantastic project which really enables students to connect and contribute to their communities.  The students are now committed to continue the relationships with the charities and continue fundraising for them.

    Spring has well and truly sprung in the garden as seed planting gets under way. We have been able to get some recycled tyres to use as planters, thanks to PTA Motoring Services in Letchworth Drive, which not only help to save the planet, but also provide a working height that is student-friendly. They’ll look even better when we get around to painting them! Year 7 students have sown runner beans and peas, and plan to sow salad crops when the weather really warms up.
