Devonport High School For Girls

SOAKED FOR A GOOD CAUSE! Yesterday lunchtime, our brilliant teachers bravely volunteered to be pelted with wet sponges – and in some cases, whole buckets of water – all in aid of charity! Thanks to the incredible organisation by our student-led group, The Wonderful 10K, we raised an amazing £234.40 for Cancer Research UK. This marks our third annual sponge-throwing event, and it was another huge success – full of laughter, cheers, and plenty of soggy teachers! Thank you to everyone who took part, helped organise, or donated. Roll on next year! #CharityFun #CancerResearchUK #SoakedForScience #TheWonderful10K #SchoolSpirit
