Christmas Movie Night – Charity begins at Â鶹ÊÓƵ Alone
On Friday the 6th of December Â鶹ÊÓƵ School Council held a Christmas movie night to raise money for HTB Queen’s Gate (St Augustine’s) to buy sleeping bags for the homeless.
The movie was Â鶹ÊÓƵ Alone, accompanied by popcorn, chocolate coins, Quality Street, and Christmas cupcakes. We arranged the sofas in the college restaurant facing the television and sat amongst oversized Christmas cushions as we watched Kevin McCallister take increasingly silly but weirdly ingenious actions to keep a pair of thieves out of his house, all while learning and appreciating the importance of family.
And it certainly felt like family amongst the borders and non-borders alike, as we stayed warm inside, a stark contrast to the homeless outside who will hopefully soon be receiving new sleeping bags after we managed to raise £85 for such a worthy cause.
