A huge thank you to everyone who supported the Santa Dash event at Carisbrooke College on Friday 15 December. The event is in its third year and the uptake has been incredible – so much so that there was a last minute order placed for more medals as the original 200 capacity was filled. With over a third of the school participating a huge amount of money has been raised for local charity The Wight Brainy Bunch which supports local families with brain tumours. It was a pleasure to see 227 students, along with Kat Grimes from the charity, running in their Santa hats through the local area up to Carisbrooke Castle and back spreading festive cheer whilst raising money for a good cause. Students were rewarded for their efforts with hot chocolate, festive music and a medal upon returning to school. Well done Team Carisbrooke you are simply amazing! As a result of this generosity, over £1000 has been raised.
