Students from class 0872, and their form teacher Mr Emmett McCaffrey.
Instead of Secret Santa this year, 0872 decided that they would give a Christmas present to the Third World.
The class collected an impressive £130 amongst themselves. After much discussion and debate on how the money should be spent, it was decided that giving it to Water Aid would be use of the money.
Water Aid are a charity who work in the developing world to provide safe clean drinking water.
The money raised by 0872 has helped Water Aid to build more wells and pumps in villages in Africa where clean drinking water can difficult to get.
