A host of activities were organised as Rydal Penrhos lent its support to a nationwide fundraising initiative.
The school’s Sixth Form Charity Committee devised an action-packed schedule for the annual BBC Children in Need Day, which took place on Friday, November 15.
All year groups dressed up to mark the occasion along the theme of “what you wanted to be when you grew up”, which saw some outstanding costumes such as a Farmer, Doctor, Builders, Superman and a Rocket Man.
We are here for the look of glee on Louis’ face ahead of waxing Mr Sanders’ legs for #ChildrenInNeed.
He was very keen to win this particular bid, for reasons unknown! #ChildrenInNeed2019 #Pudsey pic.twitter.com/WOyUwiGELD

Plenty of tasty treats were on offer at a charity cake sale during morning break, and male staff members had their legs waxed during lunch to raise further funds for the cause, where they were joined by Head Boy Ioan Peake-Jones.
In addition to the leg waxing, staff also had their make-up done by a select number of pupils who donate.
The annual #ChildrenInNeed2019 staff lex waxing proved popular once again.
Not for Mr Richardson, obviously, but all for a good cause 😂. #ChildrenInNeed #Pudsey pic.twitter.com/OktUgxoMne

More than £700 has been collected for Children in Need from the Senior School to date, with a number of donations still expected before the final total is confirmed.
Senior School Head Sally-Ann Harding, said: “Our Sixth Form Charity Committee did an incredible job of organising this year’s BBC Children in Need Day, and it was great to see the entire Rydal Penrhos community enthusiastically supporting every activity for a very worthy cause.

“They can be enormously proud of their efforts and I would like to thank them all for giving up their time to put on such a brilliant event.”
Children in Need is the BBC’s official UK charity and raises money for disadvantaged young people around the country, such as those experiencing poverty, with disabilities, or victims of abuse or neglect.
