2013
Comic Relief took place on Friday
15thMarch 2013 and as usual
Woodrush students were invited
to take part and raise money for a
worthy cause.
During the week there were red noses
on sale for students to buy and Friday
15th March was also a non-uniform
day. Many students in year 7 and 8
decided they would also like to raise
money through being sponsored to
do things and there were many silent
lessons during the day.
We also decided that we would
challenge all students and staff to
a ‘Cake Bake off’ during the week
of Comic Relief. This was a House
competition and all student and staff
entries would result in merits being
awarded to each House. Each Year
group was allocated a cake day and
judging took place at break time
and then the cakes were sold off at
lunchtime to raise even more money for
Comic Relief.
The 1st place winners for each year
group were:
Year 7: Chloe W, Jessica W
Matthew P, Esther J, Adam F
Year 8: - Josh, Holly R/Abbie S
Year 9: Toni K, Hollie S/Katie H
Zoe C
Year 10: Anisha C
Year 11: Heather St
Staff winners: Ms Williams Mr
Monk Mrs Beddoes Mr Cannon
The final House positions after the
Cake Bake off were:
1st Place Lanchester House
2nd Place Brindley House
3rd place Cadbury House.
The sixth form also took part in
various activities during the day.
The final total raised for
Comic Relief was £1493.07p

Harlem Shakes
Woodrush
For Comic Relief this year Woodrush
Sixth Form threw themselves wholeheartedly into the fundraising activities.
Focal to our efforts was the decision
to join the rest of the internet World
and make our own version of the viral
sensation, ‘The Harlem Shake’. On 15th
March, wearing fancy dress, over 40
Sixth formers participated in the event
shortly after Sixth Form briefing. Over
the following hours, the video was
edited and put together for a grand
reveal in the School Hall at break time.
The video is now available to view
online by Searching ‘Woodrush Sixth
Form’s Harlem Shake’ on Youtube.
