Being an Agent of Change is a key part of the Christian nature of Bourne Abbey School. It sounds like the job of a super hero doesn’t it? It is an incredibly important role, but anyone, absolutely anyone can be an Agent of Change. We all have the power to do something, to change one thing that can have a positive effect on the people or world around us. It could be as simple as putting rubbish in the bin, smiling at someone who needs a friend or offering to help with a job. It could be as big as reducing your carbon footprint, raising money for a good cause or campaigning for change. We all have the power to do something good. We celebrate all Agents of Change and would like to share some heroes within our school….
Well done to Bella Ward in 6H. She had her hair cut and is donating it to the Little Princess trust. She had an amazing 8.5 inches cut off (her mum did as well!). Bella raised money to support a cancer charity, something very important to her and her family as her Grandad has survived 4 types of cancer. Well done Bella!
Leo has set himself the challenge to cycle 100 miles to raise money for the charity ‘Little Miracles’.
This hasn’t been easy for him but he has shown true courage to give back to the organisation which supported him and his family. As an Agent of Change he has managed to raise even more than he was hoping and should feel
really proud of his achievement.
Harry has taken part in the incredible fundraising project “Walking Home for
Christmas” which raised money for Walking with the Wounded. Harry has a real
interest in veterans and recognising their
bravery. He and his family walked together to raise more than £1000 for
this worthy cause.
Hannah Burke has been an agent of change – she has independently at home created a switch off fortnight poster for our school to encourage others to help save the planet and reduce our carbon footprint. She has been inspired by our switch off fortnight lessons and hopes to inspire others to make a difference and make a change.
Freddie and Daniel wanted to help people who have no family at Christmas. They decided, with a little
help from mummy, to write Christmas cards.
Archie has spent his own time litter picking and sending care packages to a local care home.
