More Great Work by the Services Society

Senior School

On Monday 12th February, sixteen Year 7 pupils visited the library of Saronida and the soup kitchen in Anavyssos as part of the school’s Services Society work for helping people in need. Our pupils made use of money that had been collected from bake sales, non-uniform days and other pre-Christmas functions and visited a local supermarket where they purchased goods needed by the charity in Anavyssos for the meals prepared there every day. All pupils were very happy to participate in such a worthy activity and they proved to be extremely careful in spending the money wisely, so that they could buy the most with it!

When visiting the library, they were shown books that pupils from our school have donated in previous years and, later on, in the soup kitchen it was like visiting old friends! People there were expecting us with great pleasure and were full of praise for the pupils, their parents and our school for teaching compassion and dedication through charity work. Our pupils not only delivered the food items but placed everything on the shelves, visited the kitchen, the storage rooms for food and clothes and enjoyed talking to the volunteers.

As expected, pupil behaviour was of the highest quality. They really enjoyed this different experience which gave them an insight into the point of delivery of the charity work. The pupils now understand how the results of our charity drives really get delivered and make a difference. What is more, our school’s well-established bond with the Saronida and Anavyssos charities was strengthened further, with younger pupils taking over in the Services Society work conducted by St. Lawrence College.
