As part of Stratford College's participation in Mitzvah Week we held a food collection for Focus Ireland. Overall it was very successful, a large amount of non-perishable foods were donated by every year group to support this good cause. Thanks to Ms. Charry who brought the many boxes of food to Focus Ireland on Tuesday, 13th December. Thanks too to the TY girls who helped load the boxes into the car. Well done to the 1st Years who collected so much food.
