On Friday, February 9th our “Think Pink” group of Year 7 Courageous Advocates have organised a week of events marking World Cancer Day.

World Cancer Day (Sunday, February 4th) is an annual event to raise awareness of the disease of cancer.  The day looks to increase understanding of cancer as well as looking to change behaviours and attitudes.  The day is an international event run by the Union for International Cancer Control (UICC)

 

On February 9th children are invited to::

  •  to come to school in blue and orange (children doing so are invited to make a suggested donation of £1);

  • Take part and contribute to a bake sale at lunchtime;

  • Between Monday February 12th to Friday February 16th children & staff are challenged to take the World Cancer Day Challenge –  running or walking a total of 5km during that week’s lunchtimes to raise money for the Union for International Cancer Control (UICC) .
