Our major fundraising event is the Autumn/Christmas Fayre, which is held on the first Saturday in December We welcome those who are contacting us from outside the U.K., whether as potential students or out of personal interest, and of course potential pupils and their parents in the Canterbury area Thanks to your efforts we raised just over £7,000 which the Friends committee look forward to using to provide those much needed 'essentials' and 'luxuries' which enhance the life of the school and it's students From our regular events such as Nosh & Knowledge quiz evenings, the annual duck race on the River Stour to newer activities such as a chocoholics evening, antiques evaluation and a murder mystery The whole school participates in organising, decorating, running stalls and each year we have a special theme and encourage friendly competition amongst the houses
