Rossmore students recently appealed to the school
staff to run a non-uniform day to support comic
relief .
Rossmore students raised under 300 on comic
relief. If we could have donated the 55,480
used on fixing vandalism in the school to comic
relief we could have
Supplied food and toiletries for homeless people
in the UK 1800 times
Fed 5548 African children for a year!

Around 30 Rossmore students just returned from a
ski/snowboarding trip in Italy where they all
paid for themselves..
With 55,480 we could have paid for over half a
year group to fly to and go shopping in New York
City during February Half-term.
We could have sent the whole school (students and
staff) to Splashdown for the day six times!
With 55,480 we could take 50 students to
Barbados for a week, staying in a top beach
resort.

Money aside.
If there was no vandalism your school and
community it would be a less threatening place
with a better reputation. If there was less
vandalism staff and students would have a higher
morale.
