King Arthur's Students Plan Once-in-a-Lifetime Expedition to Tanzania

Seven students from King Arthurs Community School, Wincanton are excitedly preparing for a four-week trip to Tanzania in the Summer of 2015. A musical concert on Thursday, 13th March will help them raise the funds for this one-in-a-lifetime trip.

The students, who are currently in Years 10 and 11, are travelling with Camps International, a multi-award winning expedition company with over twelve years experience running volunteer gap years and school expeditions around the world.

The students will have the chance to;

• Work on a range of projects.
• Be part of a team in a fun and supportive environment.
• Help improve educational standards and facilities.
• Take part in on-going conservation activities to protect wildlife and the environment.
• Experience a remarkable safari.
• Undertake a five-day once-in-a-lifetime trek to the summit of Mount Meru where they will be able to watch the stunning sunrise over Africa.

Each student has to pay approximately £4,000 to enable them to be part of this incredible opportunity, for which they have to fundraise themselves. Every student is participating in group fundraising events, such as bag packing in Morrisons, Wincanton and Asda, Gillingham.

This Thursday, 13th March 2014, they are holding a musical concert in the school hall. Tickets are priced at £2.50 each and are available on the night with refreshments and raffle tickets also available.

Students are also fundraising individually with events like cake stalls and jumble sales. Some local companies have been generous in donating prizes towards their fundraising efforts.

The students have 14 months left to raise this money and would like all the help and support they can acquire. If you have any fundraising ideas or would like to contribute in any way, please email Vickie at or contact Mr Elloway (trip supervisor) at King Arthurs Community School, Wincanton on 01963 32368.
