Peter Madams, Social Activities Organiser at Embassy Oxford, sends news of two recent events at the school:
Building Futures Cake Sale
On Friday the 8th of August our Oxford staff were baking up a storm to prepare for the second Cake Sale of the summer. The money raised by these delicious cakes went towards the fundraising efforts of Wendy Brown, Ian Walker and Jo Walker who will run a half marathon for the school charity, Building Futures. The money is going towards building schools in developing countries, and we are pleased to thank students and staff for their generosity in baking, and eating, the cakes.
Olympics Party
The world was watching when the 2008 Olympic Games opened on 08.08.08, and so were the students of Embassy in Oxford. A special party was organised by the Social Team to celebrate the biggest sporting event in the world. Students and staff of all nationalities crowded into the Common Room to watch the spectacular Opening Ceremony. The parade of teams drew loud cheers and applause as the students cheered their own countries and those of their friends. When the Olympic Torch was finally lit, we were already looking forward to the next few weeks of sporting excellence.
