4 CURNOCK NEWS At our last assembly it was lovely to welcome back Mr Mike Hart, in his new role as a trustee of The Newbury & District Cancer Care Trust. Mr Hart came on their behalf to accept a cheque which represented all the money raised during the School academic year 2012/2013 by Curnock House. The total amount came to 4, which was a great achievement and everyone who worked so hard to raise this money should feel justly proud of themselves. In his acceptance speech Mr Hart mentioned that Curnock House remains one of the Trust s biggest contributors and expressed their gratitude for everything we do. Cancer is no longer the scary disease it once was but it will still touch the lives of most of us at some point. The work of the Trust in supporting people during their illness is invaluable and can only continue because of donations by well wishers such as ourselves. Curnock will continue to work towards matching this figure, and maybe even bettering it, during the coming academic year. The House Council are working on a scheme that will involve the whole House and we have already had sponsored cake sales, a sponsored silence and a fudge sale. Well done everyone and keep up the good work. It is clearly much appreciated!
