On Friday 15th March, the students at the ISC got involved in fundraising attempts for British charity – Comic Relief.
Due to another recent UK event, World Book Day, we decided to combine the two as they both seemed causes worth celebrating.
Comic Relief's motto to encourage the fundraiser is 'Do something funny for money' so to try and fit in with this the students all had to come dressed up as a character from their favourite book.
Each student who came dressed up paid a donation towards Comic Relief, with the ones who didn't having to pay a higher 'forfeit' amount.
Students were encouraged to dress as characters from a book from their own country where possible, and during assembly particular students were asked to explain a bit about their character and their chosen book.
Melanie, the ISC administrator, also made cakes to be sold during break and lunch times.
Overall, we managed to raise an amazing £165.31 for Comic Relief!
