On Thursday, 24th of November, we hosted the annual event: Help Our School mates. Students and their mentor teachers, helped with preparations for the event, which attracted a great crowd. The fair, in the dining room, started the festivities with displays of student artwork, which was available for a donation. There were also many sweet things on offer to tantalise the taste buds, which had been donated. Then there was the auction of sports equipment in the dome, which encouraged the crowd to delve into their pockets. After this, culture was the order of the day with a number of acts performing a variety of performances, including dances, songs and instrumentals from Slovenia and all around the world. To everyone who helped to make the event a great success, thank You!
