BAKE SALES:

The Student Council have been working currently on

building shades around the school in response to the
increasing temperature and having exams during the

holy month of Ramadan. They decided that for their

first event, they’ll give the public what they most
desired-crisps, sweets and slushies. Having made

2782 SR, they of course had to reimburse. Their

profit however was most shocking-2000 SR! For a
first event, it was a definite financial success. People

were full of treats and the council earned a profit-

everyone was happy!

MOVEMBER:
November is also referred to as Movember : it’s the

combination of the word ‘moustache’ and November.

In the same way that October is Breast
Cancer Awareness Month, November is the month to

raise awareness for the health issues concerning
prostate cancer, testicular cancer and depression

affecting men. Men all over the world, in response, grow

out their moustaches and beards and cease to shave for
an entire month. It’s supposed to support early cancer

detection and research, also encouraging men to

schedule frequent checkups. Men are also advised to
become more aware of their family history of cancer

and adopt a healthier lifestyle. Thereby, the Student

Council decided to have our very first ‘Movember
Monday’, an event with proceeds that went to our Local

Cancer Charity. Students were asked to wear blue &
pay 10SR. Ribbons were sold to raise awareness for the

cause & a Photo Booth took place, to cherish this special
day. Furthermore, there was also a bake sale took

place during lunch time. According to our Student

Council President, the day was quite successful and
people enjoyed themselves.
