Rainford High ‘eggsceeds’ expectations with Easter egg donations

Students and staff from Rainford High recently collected and donated over 600 chocolate Easter Eggs for worthwhile local causes.

Each year, Rainford High launches an Easter campaign to help spread joy and ensure people in need receive a chocolate egg.

The school tasked its house system with collecting as many Easter eggs as possible, in return for coveted house points and the chance to win a prize. This year’s house winner was ‘Determination’.

One student, in particular, went above and beyond. Lucas, who is in Year 9, donated an incredible 48 eggs!

Thanks to everyone’s collective efforts, the school has donated Easter eggs to St Helens Foodbank and local community groups. Staff and students personally delivered the donations before the end of term.

The initiative began eight years ago by the director of business and finance, Miss Alexandra Fairclough-Marsh, and it has gone from strength to strength ever since.

She said: “We are a proudly inclusive school that places great importance on kindness, compassion, and supporting others. Our Easter egg appeal is just one of the ways we work together to make a positive impact within our local community. I’m incredibly proud of how our students and staff have embraced the initiative and continue to go above and beyond to help others.”

Mr Ian Young, principal of Rainford High, added: “At Rainford High, we believe that ‘Everyone Matters, Everyone Helps, Everyone Succeeds’, and this campaign is a wonderful example of that in action. I’m so proud of how our school community has come together to make a positive difference to others.”
