Giving Back

We are proud to be able to give back to the community in which we live. This term, across our Junior and Senior Schools, fundraising activities have helped to raise nearly £14,000 for life-changing charities and incredibly worthy causes.

Fundraising Weeks

Moore and Law Houses got the ball rolling on fundraising for 2022-23, with each house hosting unforgettable fundraising weeks during the Autumn Term.

Moore House were up first, hosting the inaugural fundraising week of the session back in October. Led by Moore Captains, Divyakshi and Toby, alongside Head of House, Mr Leggat, and assistant, Mrs Elsby, a series of Hallowe’en themed charitable events helped to raise the incredible sum of £3,490 for the charity, Rebecca Rocks. Pupils relished getting involved in a fantastic week of events including HSOG Carpool Karaoke, the Moore Munch and the High School’s first ever Haunted House!

Law House followed at the start of December, transforming HSOG into a winter wonderland and raising £3,015 for The Scottish Cot Death Trust. Law Captains, Eilidh and Duncan, along with their peers, organised a Christmas market, Soak-the-Sixth-Years, a hilarious teacher-led edition of ‘Through the Keyhole’ as the House Show and much more, spreading festive cheer across the Senior School.

Thanks to Head of Law House, Mrs Peek, and assitant, Mr MacGregor, for all their support in making it a success! Read more by clicking here.

Mini-Marathon

To coincide with the belated London Marathon, the Junior School ran their very own TCS Mini Marathon towards the end of September.

Just ahead of the main event in London, each Junior School year group took it in turn to make their way around a circuit in the local area as they helped to raise money for East Dunbartonshire foodbank.

Great job everyone!

A number of pupils and staff members grabbed their sleeping bags, put on their thermals and braved the cold in early December for the S6 Sleep Out, raising money for Social Bite.

They kept spirits high at the Senior School as their efforts helped to raise more than £1,850 for the wonderful Scottish charity, Social Bite, who fundraise in the attempt to end homelessness.

Junior School Harvest Week

There was an incredible response from the School community in October for the Junior School’s annual Harvest Week appeal.

After some trips to the supermarket and a rummaging of cupboards, our pupils were delighted to be able to donate a large number of harvest boxes containing food, toiletries and other essential items to appreciative local charities including the Salvation Army’s William Hunter House, a short term housing support service for adults experiencing homelessness in Glasgow, Focal Point Day Care Centre in Drumchapel and East Dunbartonshire Foodbank.

Children in Need

Our Kindergarten helped raise £1,269 for Children in Need.

Thank you to all High School families who supported our littlest learners as they embarked on a sponsored walk and decorated Pudsey biscuits to help raise this great total for those in need! What an effort!
