The Abingdon School Charity Half Marathon (or
“Charathon”) saw boys and staff walking, running,
canoeing and rowing the 13 miles back to School from
Benson (or Little Wittenham for Lower School).
Boys raised the impressive sum of £29,980 for three
charities: Medic Assist International, Helen and
Douglas House and The Abingdon Bridge.
The Charathon
Girls from St Helen’s joined 40 Abingdon students at our own Model United Nations
conference organised by the boys. Those involved showed an impressive grasp of detail
and nuance in debating major global issues. 18 boys then went on to the MUN conference
at Malvern St James where they scooped an impressive amount of awards including Best
Young Delegate for Alexander Hann and Outstanding Delegate for Hayden Ramm.
Lacrosse Derby
The girls were undeniably the better
team at the annual lacrosse derby
between St Helen’s and Abingdon.
