FRIENDS OF SEVENOAKS
Above : The FoS Careers Fair in February . Thank you to all parents and Old Sennockians who volunteered their time and professional expertise .
Friends of Sevenoaks had a very active Michaelmas term , allowing new and current parents to socialise as part of the Sevenoaks School community . All the FoS Saturday coffee mornings for each year group have seen record attendance , while the ever-successful uniform shop and lost property run by committed volunteers continues to provide a valuable service , appreciated by many parents and students . With almost 200 guests , the Thai-themed New Parents ’ Supper was the perfect evening to introduce new parents to the school . The exquisite food and wine helped create a friendly atmosphere , establishing long-lasting bonds between parents .
The Quiz Night did not disappoint : another sell-out evening , always highly competitive but a jovial and fun event , nonetheless , which saw a parent team win this year . Our fantastic social coordinators organised successful Christmas parties during which parents managed to unwind before the festive period started .
For walk lovers , the Sevenoaks Striders have organised get-togethers in the leafy surrounding areas of Sevenoaks . Unfortunately , the FoS Summer Ball was not able to take place . An alternative date in 2021 has been found ; an event that the whole Sevenoaks Community will certainly look forward to .
FoS has become an integral part of Sevenoaks School and this friendly institution could not exist without the help , dedication , time and generous commitment of its co-chairs , Emma Kutchera and Clare Scott , its treasurer , Sue Newman , and all its hardworking year group social coordinators and volunteers .
The funds raised by FoS in 2019-20 entirely covered the much-needed purchase of a new projector in the Pamoja Hall , highlighting the positive impact of the Friends of Sevenoaks on the school ’ s pupils and its entire community .
