A total of £450 was raised during Christmas Tie Day in memory of Stephen Grant - this was coordinated by Mrs Pennell in collaboration with the IT/Computing department and Textiles.

A further £360.70 was raised by Mr Barton during the Grant Cup Football Tournament carried out with Westside's younger students.

A massive £810.70 was handed over to the Cardiac Association.

Christmas Tie Day has been running for 4 years now, and with the monies raised and donated to the Gibraltar Cardiac Association over this period, the charity have been able to install the AED machine outside of our Secondary schools.

Well done to all involved!!

We raised a total of £500 which was donated to the Muslim Youth of Gibraltar who worked in conjunction with Maroc Atlas Gibraltar 4x4 Club to provide relief aid in the most rural areas of Morocco.

On Thursday 16th November, staff and pupils at Westside were encouraged to wear purple in support of Pancreatic Cancer Awareness Day. A total of £359.55 and €9 was raised in just one morning through this effort.

It is the fastest killing cancer due to rather general symptoms, such as stomach and digestive problems, feeling tired, loss of appetite/weight loss, as well as skin turning yellow. As a result, diagnosis is often quite late, thus the cancer would be in the advanced stages. Therefore, raising awareness of the symptoms and early detection plays a significant role in battling this disease!

“On behalf of Pancreatic Cancer Awareness Gibraltar and myself, a massive thank you to all of you who supported the campaign on Thursday by wearing purple and donated! Many thanks and I'm looking forward to next year!” Mr Baldachino (staff member leading the initiative).
