March 2010 - Sponsored Walk for St. Luke's Hospice -
Photo's on home page
On Sunday a huge number of parents, pupils, pets and staff took part in helping to raise over £2000 for St. Luke's Hospice during a sponsored walk in Harrow-on-the-Hill.
The 15:1 hill climb was very tough, the hills were alive with the sound of huffing, and William Yi in Y10 managed 10 laps, a record breaker. You will see in the photos below that Mr Mason found a £10 note with a bee on it, and gave the bee to charity! Everyone wanted to pat Mr Nagle's super friendly dog Banna. The day was very enjoyable and we had an excellent turnout. Dont forget to collect your community award points from Mr Nagle. A big thank you to all who took part.
Great Ormond Street Hospital Children's Charity gave us a big Thank You. Nower Hill have raised a massive £859 buying their Sweets for Life.
Haiti Earthquake Appeal - As a school community it is very important that we do something to aid the people of Haiti because of the terrible diasaster there. A big thank you to all who have made a donation - our grand total is £1212.97 Thank you everyone. We will pay the money into the Disaster Emergency Committee, which is a government sponsored organisation. http://www.dec.org.uk/
Last term in the Gristwood Centre, in some fantastic fancy dress (including Michael Jackson and Zorro!), 20 pupils bounced a total of 6000 times (effortlessly exceeding their original target of 5000), in order to raise money for the Haiti earthquake crisis.
Ms Price assisted admirably by setting up 3 trampolines and demonstrating some impressive 'bounce moves'. Miss Wood and Ms Gold also bounced (nervously) dressed as very scruffy Nower Hill pupils. All in all, a fantastic event: raising money for a desperate cause whilst simultaneously showing off some serious Bouncing Prowess. Much gratitude to all who sponsored. Photo's below

Ladies in pink take to the midnight streets to raise money for St. Luke's Hospice.
On the 20th June 2008 hundreds of ladies, dressed in bright pink tee shirts walked through the night to raise money for St Luke’s Hospice. The challenge was set over a 9 mile route which covered Harrow, Harrow Weald, Stanmore and Kingsbury.
St Luke’s says thank you for the help of the community to make this event a great success!

St Luke’s is the local hospice providing palliative care for mainly terminally ill patients as well as support for their families. One of the ways it raises money is through the annual walk. About 100 people took part this year and walked the Cumbria Way on the May Bank holiday weekend (1st -5th May 2008). The walk was about 75 miles in total, over 5 days through boggy and mountainous terrain. This is the most beautiful and picturesque part of the UK through the heart of the Lake District. It was quite tough overall although some days were easier than others. The website gives more information about the Hospice and its work as well as more details about the walk. www.stlukes-hospice.org
This was a great success, photos to follow shortly. Following the success of last years 15:1 challenge, it was back for 2008! A two mile route up and down the Hill which showed you Harrow School and some amazing views over London. It included the 15-1 gradient up to St. Mary's Church - the hill that has given this event its name. Challengers completed as many laps as they were able to in the 3 hour period (walking or running).
