This is the first year that Worthing High School has teamed up with the Movember Foundation to raise money to support mental health and suicide prevention, prostate cancer and testicular cancer. We have a dedicated team growing whatever facial hair they can muster, in the process looking particularly impressive. On Thursday 24 November we will also include students in our fundraising, offering a range of moustaches for students to wear for the day (50p each). If you would like to help us and support please donate to https://movember.com/t/worthing-high-school?mc=1

Thank you for your generosity.

Sunday the 9 of October saw the end of the racing season, culminating at the UK National Finals held at Goodwood race circuit.  It was a great surprise for our students to be told that they’d been invited to participate, the second time in two years!  The event had over 80 entrants from all over the UK and even teams from Brazil, Spain and Portugal.

The day started early, most of our students arrived by 7.00am and worked together to prepare our trusty original car for scrutineering, which it sailed through.  Having been approved to race, the team set about organising themselves for practice.  After the initial session in practice and the time taken to complete a circuit, the team decided to replace the gearing to test their time.  As they did so, a representative of the organisers noticed their activity in replacing the gears for themselves.  Their comment was that it was a pleasure to see students entering into the spirit of the event, rather than have adults involved in the repairing of the car.  A short while later the group were interviewed by the Goodwood PR interviewers and broadcast live to the circuit.  Having replaced the gears it was noted that the car was slower, so they reverted to the previous set up.

Food lessons at Worthing High School will involve your child using and tasting a number of ingredients.

It is essential for us to be aware of any allergies or intolerances they may have. 

If your child has any known food allergies, intolerances, ethical issues or Religious beliefs that affect their choice of food (eg.Vegan), please let us know by emailing their Food Teacher

Worthing High School’s charity events kick off this year, as usual, with the Macmillan Coffee Morning.

This year we are hosting a coffee morning and invite students to donate cakes to be sold to raise money. We will be collecting cakes during the week commencing Monday 26^th of September for the big sale on Friday 30 September. Please can all pre-packaged cakes be brought to student services over the course of the week. These will then be sliced or separated and sold to raise money on Friday break and lunch. Prices will vary between 20p and 80p per item.

Star Baker Awards

We want to encourage our young bakers. Therefore we will also be running a best cake competition for each year group (and staff) and ask that they bring their cake to student services on Friday morning where a panel of judges will adjudicate over the entries. Winners will be presented with the coveted wooden spoon trophy. Please ensure all homemade cakes are clearly labelled with the student name and tutor group.

Host your own bake sale

The fundraising doesn’t just happen at school. We want our students to host their own bake sales for friends, family and the community. Last year this external effort doubled our total for the event. Worthing High would like to celebrate your monumental efforts so please take photos of your cakes and events and email them to tizod@worthinghigh.net so we can share your work to our twitter feed. There will be special recognition for students hosting their own bake sales with certificates for creativeness and fundraising.

Please can all fundraising be sent in though wisepay or donated to the finance office in school.

Happy baking (and cake eating),

Mr Izod
