Whickham students once again rose to the challenge of charity week with energy, enthusiasm and humour. Activities ranging from the variety show to the battle of the bands, and the fashion show to teacher sumo did much to capture the imagination of students and raise a significant amount of money for the Josie Groves Leukaemia appeal. Many thanks to the students and staff who organised such an impressive range of events and those who supported the activities.
One of the highlights of the week was the tug-of-war event that saw the might of Newcastle falcons take on the combined force of Whickham School.
