Celine Watts, a SixthForm student from John F Kennedy Catholic School organised a charity fundraising Football and Netball event on 30 April in aid of Cancer Research. It was a great success and along with organising a raffle and selling Cancer Research wrist bands she raised over £550 for the charity.
The football match consisted of a keen staff team and previous students against the current senior boy’s football team. The game was played in good spirit, ending in a 2-2 draw.
Fifteen teams took part in the netball tournament. The JFK netball teams were out in force with every year group represented, plus a Teachers’ team and a JFK Mums’ team. Our feeder schools also supported the event with several teams from St Roses Infant school, St Thomas More, St Albert the Great and St Cuthbert Mayne Schools.
The overall winners of the netball tournament were the Year 9A team, who beat St Roses Infant School in the final 3-2.
Celine who is just 18 years old took the time and effort to organise this event, which shows talent beyond her years. She is a great role model to the younger students at John F Kennedy School.
