The Sixth Formers at Bishop Douglass School have been recognised once again for their sterling efforts in community work. They have been awarded a ‘Get set for Community Action’ plaque for their ‘Outstanding work within the community’.
Last year a Brazilian tea party was organised in collaboration with Age UK Barnet to help celebrate the Rio 2016 Olympics. Local senior citizens were invited to the school to enjoy a samba lesson, Brazilian cuisine and Brazilian bingo. At Christmas, a team of Sixth Formers went carol singing at Nazareth House, the local care home.
Regular community endeavours include monthly tea dances and weekly computer lessons for local senior citizens. These are hosted and organised by the Sixth Formers who really enjoy running the events, and are always looking for new ways to get involved with their local community.
