The school has a history of contributing towards local and national charities. We feel that our students should be encouraged to help others who are less fortunate than themselves.  As a result of the 'Pupil Voice' surveys, the charity committee is now made up of six pupils from S1-S6 and one staff member.  This is very much a pupil led organisation with the teacher mainly as a facilitator.

2012 EVENTS:

23rd March: UNIFORM FREE DAY - Pupils came ressed up as something or someone sporty!

             CHARITY = SPORT RELIEF                                             TOTAL RAISED = £311.90

28th March:  OPEN MIC NIGHT - A mixture of pupils from S1-S6 and some adults took part in an EHS first, a night of music in a 'jazz club style' setting.  This was very well received by both audience and performers alike and it is our aim that the 'Open Mic Night' becomes a regular feature at EHS.

Day Star School, India  - is a school we are sponsoring.This is a school that started with only 9 pupils and now has over 500 pupils who follow a British curriculum. The current S2 have experienced Indian culture, food, music, art and lifestyle in an attempt for them to understand Indian life and culture. They raised money for the school through a variety of activities and we are currently waiting to hear what Day Star School are going to spend the money that we raised on in their school.
