A STAGGERING £1,300 from pie flinging and classroom mayhem was raised by pupils for charity.
Bizarre mini-events including student leg waxing competitions and mixed netball played by boys dressed in PE skirts and girls sporting oversized boxers, took place at Kingsbury High School, Princess Ave, Kingsbury, on Friday.
The event was organised by sixth form students at the school for local charities St.Luke’s Hospice and Grove Park Special Needs School, as pupils donated cash to either join or watch the playful antics.
A ‘pie-a-teacher’ auction was voted being the most entertaining event, as pupils got their revenge on teachers by smearing whipped cream on their face.
Mr Atul Patel, 36, Head of Faculty for Business & Social Services, managed to attract the highest bids collecting £20.
He said “Today is all about letting your hair down and not forgetting that it’s all for a worthy cause.”

Self-reflective Report: Charity Day 5
By visiting my former school I overheard one of the teachers discussing this particular charity event organised, therefore I seized the opportunity to approach him by asking whether I could attend.
Reporting in schools was one of the most satisfying tasks I had encountered, as both teachers and students were incredibly cooperative. I made contact with the Head Girl via email and she responded promptly with any questions I posted to her. She listed the programme for the day and clarified any further questions after the event ended, such as how much money was raised. Once I arrived at the school she further assisted me by introducing the students involved in creating the charity day, which allowed me to engage with the students at ease.
With a selection of events to choose from, I was uncertain how I would construct the article; whether to weave in everything or to focus on the most appealing ones. After establishing articles written about school charities were brief, I realized in order to make the article effective, I needed to choose a focal point to demonstrate the most interesting angle.
The pie-flinging was a distinctive event, which I emphasized in the third section. Fortunately I managed to receive a quote from the teacher which gave the article more definition.
The introduction was significantly the hardest line to compose, as in order for it to be a noticeable paragraph; the choice of words selected needed to be sharp and active.
A student photographer displayed his photos on the networking website facebook, where I found a striking photo which connected strongly with the angle. By emailing all the students involved in the photograph, I followed the legal procedures implicated, as all were under the age of 18. Their parents gladly gave consent for publication.
