• Parent takes on 'Merseyside train challenge' to raise funds for the Friends of Clare Mount challenge

  Fri 26 Apr 2019 D. Taylor

  On Friday the 26th of April 2019, Anner Van Hardenbroek will be visiting all of the 81 train stations within Merseyside in one day, as part of raising awareness for Autism during Autism Awareness Month. Anyone can take part on the day of the challenge, or can donate towards the challenge, with all proceeds going to “Friends Of Claremount,” the school charity.  

  Mr Van Hardenbroek said, 'I wanted to do something unique to participate in Autism Awareness Month, to celebrate those who are on the Autism Spectrum, like two of my children are. Trains are often something that individuals who are on the Autism Spectrum really enjoy as visual and/or sensory experiences.'

   

  You can support Mr Van Hardenbroek to reach his £400 target by donating at https://mydonate.bt.com/fundraisers/merseysidetrainchallenge

   

  Clare Mount would like to say a big thanks and good luck to Mr Van Hardenbroek for the challenge.

  Thu 18 Apr 2019 k. Byrne
  On Thursday 18th April our 6th form students took part in a cross-Wirral Sports Leadership Event at the brilliant Hive Youth Zone in Birkenhead. They were joined by students from Prenton High School, Ridgeway High School, Weatherhead High School and Birkenhead Park School. The theme of the event was ‘Empowering Young Leaders’ and each of our brilliant students left feeling much more confident about their leadership skills. Jordan described the day as ‘phenomenal.’ All our students will be using their new found skills in leading tennis, kin-ball and Ultimate Frisbee at our next Fit Fun Fest on May 7th this year.
