QEGS was alive with energy and excitement yesterday, as students came together for the annual Foundation Charity Fayre. The day was a vibrant showcase of teamwork, community spirit and creativity, all while raising vital funds for Teenage Cancer Trust and Cancer Research UK.

The morning kicked off with a series of engaging house challenges designed to test students’ problem-solving abilities and collaborative skills. From intricate puzzles to strategic games, students demonstrated their ingenuity and worked together to earn points for their respective houses.

After a lively morning, a refreshing break with ice lollies and music provided a perfect opportunity for students to unwind before the much-anticipated Tug of War Championship. The atmosphere was electric as houses battled it out with incredible determination, creating a truly exhilarating highlight of the day. Following the intense competition, a delicious BBQ lunch offered a chance to refuel before the big reveal of the House Winners!

The afternoon transformed the QEGS yard and fields into the Foundation Charity Fayre – with students from Year 3 to Year 12 getting involved in a wide range of activities. These included stalls and games run by Year 9 and 10 pupils, inflatables, and for the first time, live music performed by pupils and staff across the Foundation. The atmosphere was full of laughter, fun, and shared celebration as pupils and staff enjoyed the final moments of the academic year.

The Foundation Charity Fayre was a fantastic success, not only bringing the school community together in celebration but also powerfully demonstrating our students’ unwavering commitment to supporting incredibly important charitable causes. A huge thank you to all the staff and our Year 12 students who helped out and made the day very special and memorable for all involved!
