News Abingdon Prep Nearing the end of another busy term in 8R, pupils presented their CREST projects to a busy Science lab at the end of the school day. A wide range of scientific projects were shown, from selecting equipment for cricket and hockey, and understanding nucleation sites on different sweets and how they make the best reaction with a range of cola products, to looking at compounds that could make an elixir of life that will keep us all from ageing. A huge well done to our 8R pupils. 8R CREST Charity Update It has been a truly heartwarming year of fundraising at APS, where the wonderful enthusiasm of our staff and pupils was matched only by the incredible kindness and generosity of our parents, raising over £2,800. This is to be shared between two excellent Oxfordshire-based charities: MyVision and Flexicare, which we will be delighted to continue supporting next year. This fantastic total was achieved through a bustling calendar of events, which included the Silver Coin Trail, Be Seen in Green day, Christmas Jumper day, Year 7 Tycoons projects, and the wonderful sponsored swim at Abingdon School. Our school community also gave generously at a host of concerts and performances throughout the year. Alongside this, our House charities raised over £900 overall for four excellent causes: Dragon for Ronald McDonald House Phoenix for the Oxfordshire Animal Sanctuary Unicorn for SOS Children's Villages Griffin for the Sumatran Orangutan Society A huge thank you to everyone who made this year of giving so successful!
