• Acton Park Primary School, Wrexham

Donations headed to Ukraine, collected at Acton Park Primary School.

The families, children and staff of Acton Park have made a generous contribution to the appeal for items to be taken to the Ukraine-Poland border in order to support civilians affected by the conflict with Russia.

When staff realised lorries would be leaving Wrexham carrying items for people displaced by the events in Ukraine, they decided to set up a collection point at the school.

Miss Watkins, a class teacher at the school, said: "It was clear when talking to them, that our children were worried about the developing situation in Ukraine.

"They had heard about what was happening and how it was impacting on the people who lived there, and wanted to help."

She added: "We are absolutely overwhelmed by the donations received from our school community.

"Through their immense kindness and generosity, Acton Park children, families and staff have shown great empathy by donating so much to this appeal and we are truly grateful for their help and support."

• St David’s High School, Saltney

Hollie McFarlane, who organised the event fundraising event at St David's High School, Saltney.

Earlier this month, the school had a fundraising event in aid of Ukrainian refugees.

The aim was to run/cycle 100km in one school day. This distance represents the distance from Lviv to the Polish border, a journey many young people have had to make, and under the harshest conditions, often leaving everything they know behind.

The event was a great success and the total distance covered was 275kms, and an impressive £700 was raised.

Hollie McFarlane, in charge of care, support and guidance at the school, organised the event.

She said: “I have been blown away by the amount of pupils who have wanted to support me with this.

"We all wanted to do something to help. The money raised will hopefully make a huge difference to the appeal."

• Adult Community Learning at Connah's Quay High School

The school is delighted to announce the start of a new initiative.

They are opening their doors to the community and are delivering lessons in the evening to people over the age of 19.

All courses are fully funded and the school will be working in partnership with Adult Community Learning.

The first course starts on April 4, 2022 from 6pm-7.30pm.

Amanda Creevy, assistant headteacher, said: “The school aims to provide courses which meet the needs of the community.

"All sessions are informal and we are starting off with lessons in English for speakers of other languages (ESOL).”

Other courses to be offered include all essential skills - English, maths, digital literacy, pathways to employment and health and wellbeing.

The school will be working to ensure the very best opportunities and outcomes for adult learners within the community, from engagement courses for those who are seeking a new interest and would like to meet like-minded people, to those who need a particular qualification to progress onto the next stage of their career.

This is an exciting development for the school and another way in which we are trying to support and invest in our community for the future.
