Fund raising for the minibus for this AIDS clinic in Ghana has taken place in a variety of ways:-

A lunchtime concert starring school bands and staff bands.
-
A whole school non-uniform day where students and staff were encouraged to wear red.
-
A very successful fashion show where 2 A level Textile Students designed and made about 45 individual outfits that were modelled by students in an evening fashion show linked with a dance performance concerning the issue of HIV and music played by 2 bands one from school and the other The Lurios from Stockton who gave their services for the cost of their petrol!

The students have raised about £2,014 so far and are hoping to make a presentation at the end of January to
James Cook Hospital to go towards the cost of the mini bus.
Pamela Beddow, a teacher at Stokesley School said "When people are so eager to moan and criticise young people for what they don't do it is refreshing to see how the Global Student Forum provided an impetus for so many students in our school to do so much."
