Fund Raising

The GOA 2012 team are aiming to try to raise £10,000 to help fund the project. The money will go towards funding materials, furniture, equipment and for the general up-keep of the building. Any money that isn't spent will be left to the charity to help fund the project during the time that we will be away from the build.

In order to help us raise the required total we are planning the following events. Pupils have also been encouraged to carry out their own fund raising in their own time.

Tickets for any of the events below can be bought by contacting either Mr Mistry or Mr Newell at Silcoates School.

Do you fancy yourself as a wine connoisseur? Do you think you know your Shiraz from your Rioja, your Pinot from your Chardonnay. This year's Call My Wine Bluff will see three different people try and convince you that the wine you are drinking is what they are describing. It promises to be an evening of fun and - if not - at least there is a lot of wine on offer! This event will be held in the School Hall.

Tickets are £10 and include your wine and a cheese and pate buffet.

7.00pm start for a 10.30pm finish.

Please contact Mr Mistry for tickets.

Are you someone who is always up for a challenge? If so then this might be the biggest challenge you have ever undertaken.

Our aim is to cycle 5,000 miles in two days. This is the distance from Silcoates School to GOA. We are not asking people to do 5,000 miles each, but to do it as a collective unit.

The more people that help out in this challenge the easier it will become!

Could you handle saddle soreness for two days to help out in this mega challenge. If you are interested please see Mr Newell.

If you are like me and your cellar or attic is full of clutter that you were going to throw away, why not buy a table at our event and try to sell your unwanted items? Tables for the event are priced at £10. However, if you don’t want to buy a table then come along to the sale and try to pick up a bargain or simply have a cup of tea and a cake.

If you would like a table then please contact either Mr Mistry or Mr Newell.

Whether you are a regular at your local gym or just wanting to have a bit of fun join us in the school hall for our 12 hour Zumba. If you dont want to do the whole 12 hours then just come when you can. refreshments and cakes are available all day. £5 to join us.

I would just like to say a massive thank you to the entire silcoates foundation for taking part in the non uniform day. A total of £3000 was raised.

On behalf of myself and the ENTire goa 2012 team we would like the thank the SILCOATES JUNIOR school for their continued support throughout the fundraising year.

Would also like to thank THE SILCOATES SCHOOL SIXTH FORM who donatated £2800 from various events they held throughout the school to help raise money for Goa. They held events like Silcoates Does the Movies, fancy dress day, bun sales and a sky dive.

There were lots of other events held throughout the yearand each one has contributed to this massive fundraising total of £18000. Thank you
