Year 12 students Wayne Ormond and Ben Craig will be taking to the skies on Saturday, July 14, at Pembrey Airfield as they perform a parachute jump in aid of the Meningitis Trust. Both students need to raise a basic sum before they can jump, and all proceeds will go to this very worthwhile cause.
If you would like to sponsor these two brave students, please contact them via the school (tel: 01834 840100).
