The Flagpole

The last day before Lent Half Term is traditionally Blue Day here at Princethorpe College with our Sixth Formers wearing blue for charity. Despite the lockdown the fundraising still went ahead, this year in aid of The Graham Fulford Charitable Trust.

To entertain their peers the prefects put together a motivational movie clip that was shared in Tutor Time. They donned an eclectic mix of blue costumes and sang and danced along.

Charity prefect, Hannah Bryer, co-ordinated the production of the clip putting everyone's cameo performances together. Hannah explains, “Unfortunately we couldn’t celebrate Blue Day in person this year, but I didn’t want the event to be forgotten. The prefects liked the idea of a Blue Day Video overcoming the barrier of lockdown, so we all voted for the songs we liked best and they sent me footage of them dancing which I then edited together. It was a fun event to do as we come towards the end of our year as prefects. We chose to donate to the Graham Fulford Charitable Trust this year, as they both test for and spread awareness of prostate cancer, helping people catch it early and treat it sooner.”

Together the Sixth Form raised £131.50 including gift aid. If you would like to support their fundraising you can do so on their justgiving page here.
