Reunion Afternoon Tea Saturday 5 October, 2024 - 300th Year Celebration Edition

SWPS Atrium

5 October 2024

13:30 - 16:00PM

We warmly invite you to join our Alumnae community for the Annual Afternoon Tea Reunion, which this year is the school's 300th Anniversary.

The afternoon will include a sumptuous afternoon tea-themed buffet prepared by our in-house Chef, along with a tour of the school by one of our student ambassadors. There will also be the opportunity to browse past yearbooks, photographs, and memorabilia from our archives, and plenty of time to mingle with fellow Perkonians.

All Alumnae are welcome to attend; however, places are limited and will be allocated on a first-come, first-served basis, so early registration is advised. 

If you have any SWPS memorabilia or Uniform (dated before 1974) that you would like to donate or loan to the school, it may be included in our Tricentenary exhibition at Chertsey Museum in Spring. Please bring any items along with you on the day.

Project 300

As part of Project 300, every member of the SWPS Community is to give at least three hours of their time to the local community. We aim to generate 1725 community hours as a school

Sir William Perkins started the school to give back to the local community of Chertsey.  We would like everyone in the SWPS community to be a part of the community and help build the community by giving at least three hours of their time to help others.

If every student in each house completes three hours we will achieve 1725 hours as a school – the year the school was founded, a great achievement!  That is 432 hours per House – who will get there first?
 

 

SWPS TRICENTENNIAL BIKEATHON

As part of our celebrations for the SWPS tercentenary, we are excited to announce a Sponsored Bikeathon, which will take place from 14 to 16 October. The event will be run from 08:00-16:00 each day and all money raised will be donated to Climate Outreach, a UK charity which focuses on public engagement with climate change.

Students will be invited to participate by cycling on an exercise bike for a 30-minute session. Across the three days, they can participate up to three times, with the aim of collecting as much sponsorship money as possible. Furthermore, there will be prizes for the top three students who collect the most sponsorship money.

By taking part, students will be able to work towards their volunteering goal, an essential part of Project 300, which emphasizes the importance of giving back to the community as part of our school's 300-year celebration.
