150 years of raising vital funds

We have been raising money for West Herts Hospitals Charity, specifically aiming to raise funds to help purchase a Bili light, which is used in the treatment of newborn babies who develop jaundice. In Senior School assembly we welcomed Alison Rosen who is Chief Executive of the West Herts Hospitals Charity and her colleague Emma Clark, a midwife who works at the trust. Emma spoke to us about her work on the maternity ward and the importance of this life-saving piece of equipment. Alison sent a video message to the Junior School to share in their assembly this afternoon.

To raise money our whole school enjoyed a non-uniform day and Year 7 and Year 8 students, as well as staff, took part in a bake-off and cake sale. In our 150th year, this initiative mirrors similar charitable endeavours of the past in which Habs Girls students would sponsor a cot in the local maternity ward.

Thank you to everyone who has supported our charitable efforts today and to Alison and Emma for taking the time to come to speak to us.
