The Lions Den
Ringwood students battled it out in front of a 'Dragons Den' style panel for a share of £1,000 for charity, kindly donated by The Ringwood & Fordingbridge Lions.
The Ringwood & Fordingbridge Lions Club offered £1,000 to a student team (or shared between teams) who made the strongest bid for a local charity in the style of the Dragons Den on Tuesday 6th December. Each charity was selected by the students who had a personal link with the charity which made them more passionate in how they presented.
The 'Dragons' included; Councillor Brian Terry Ringwood Town Mayor, Barrie Richardson Lions Club President for the year and Jean Moore, senior committee member of Chernoblyl Children's Life Line (local charity).
Students from years 8 to 13 worked in their teams to convey the work of their chosen charity giving powerful presentations which included film, display boards, leaflets as well as PowerPoint presentations. The quality of the presentations was superb and made the work of the three judges all the more difficult so they decided to split the money (as shown in brackets below).
Rather than charge an entry for a ticket students asked for a donation to the Danny Cracknell Christmas Appeal and a box was filled with items and cash donations.
The students were supported by family and friends who praised what they had achieved.
Assistant headteacher Margaret Olive said: "We are extremely proud of the charitable work our students undertake and this was a really interesting evening. Well done to all students who were involved. The evening was a great success."
