Guests at Alder Grange’s Annual Celebration and Awards Evening saw a group of pupils from Year 10 take to the stage to perform a short drama piece that they had written and produced themselves. Intended to raise awareness of the plight of children affected by conflicts throughout the world, the piece was inspired by the Kony 2012 campaign, an internet sensation that went viral earlier this year.
On Friday 27th April 2012, Alder Grange will be supporting UNICEF’s annual Day for Change and we very much hope that you will join us in supporting this worthwhile, fun and educational event.
