Royal Latin School - Rls 600 Campaign
About Royal Latin School - Rls 600 Campaign
The 600 Campaign is an exciting ten year challenge to secure funding for much needed new facilities at The Royal Latin School in Buckingham, England.
Royal Latin School - Rls 600 Campaign Description
The 600 Campaign will consist of three major phases: the construction of The Discovery Centre (an innovative science and technology facility) in 2015, followed by improvements to expressive arts and sixth form facilities - all before the 600th anniversary of the school in 2023.
The Campaign aims to bring one of the oldest schools in England into the 21st Century, and to ensure that students leave the school not only with excellent exam results, but with the skills they will need to have in order to build and to succeed in tomorrow's world.

What a hero...Andy Murray is the latest sporting hero to be nominated to join our Wall of Sporting Heroes, which will form a permanent feature in our new Sports Campus building. Huge thanks to the Sharma family for nominating Andy - we think he'll be a popular choice this year! Full details of how to get your nomination onto our wall at http://bit.ly/RLS600Hero Heroes can be nominated more than once, and can be a famous sportsperson or simply a friend or family member who inspires others through their sporting achievements. We look forward to seeing who will be next!

We love it when supporters are inspired by each other and pick up the fundraising gauntlet! Huge thanks to RLS parent Cecilia Eisner, who next month will be taking part in a 100km trail running event across the Andes. Wow...that's quite a challenge! Please show your support for Cecilia by sponsoring her at https://www.justgiving.com/fundraising/ce ciliaeisnerrls - thank you!!
Great news! Gin & Jazz raised just over £5,000 for the Sports Campus at RLS. We are thrilled! Thank you so much to all of our guests, and of course to Tad Newton, and to all of our raffle prize donors, for making the evening such a success! Thank you also to Foxdenton Estate for keeping the gin flowing, to Innovate for supplying the lovely spread of canapes, and to Fever Tree for providing tonic to water the gin down, just slightly. Thanks also to Miles in Year 8, who entertained guests on arrival with his amazing jazz piano set - great job! Finally, a huge thank you to all of the volunteers and staff who worked so hard to make this event such a resounding success. In fact, such a good time was had by all, that we quite fancy doing it all again another time - watch this space!
Hang on...those lovely people at Buckingham Royals Korfball are going to donate £5 to the Sports Campus for every single one of you who turns up to watch a fun match tomorrow, 4th Oct at 7.15pm in the Sports Hall at RLS?? You don’t even have to play, just watch (although I’m sure you may be tempted to have a go!). Brilliant!! Please pop along and watch this growing sport in action!! Thank you Buckingham Royals Korfball Club!!!!👏👏👏
Huge thanks to our friends at Kiwi & Pomme, a fine food and drinks store opening on Market Hill in Buckingham towards the end of October, for giving us this amazing hamper stuffed full of some of the lovely artisan products they'll be stocking. We'll be raffling the hamper at Gin & Jazz on Saturday night - and guarding it very closely until then! There's still time to grab your Gin & Jazz tickets via http://bit.ly/Gin-Jazz - but hurry! Looking forward to a fun night :)
We couldn't be more proud! Huge congratulations to all of our swimmers who took part in Swim Serpentine on Saturday, in less than ideal conditions! Brilliant job all round - fantastic achievement and new experience for them all, and a great way to raise funds for the Sports Campus. You can still sponsor them via http://bit.ly/rls600swim18, and join us in thanking them for taking on such a big challenge. Thank you!!
All ready to welcome our golfers to Whittlebury Park today - stunning day! Old Latins, parents, or corporate supporters - who will be victorious this year?!! Huge thanks to our sponsors and everyone who has been involved in organising the day 😊
Only 15 days to go until the iconic Swim Serpentine event in London! We're so excited that the 600 Campaign will have 11 swimmers (staff, parents and students) taking part, each swimming between half a mile and two miles. Our swimmers have been training hard over the summer months, and, it's probably fair to say, are feeling the pressure right about now! Please do what you can to show them your support by reading their stories, sponsoring them and leaving them a good luck mes...sage on their fundraising pages, which you can find via http://bit.ly/rls600swim18 If you'd rather just make a general donation to the 600 Campaign you can also do so via this page - just leave a note to say it's in support of the team. And do leave a good luck message on this post as well if you wish, all support will be greatly appreciated by the team. Thank you, very much!!

Ooooh look - a FAB event for all you cyclists out there!! Thrilled to be working with Mark Webber's company www.aussiegritapparel.com on this brilliant ride departing from The Royal Latin in Buckingham on Sunday 30th September 2018, all proceeds to the Sports Campus. Further details and registration coming very soon, so watch this space. In the meantime, please save the date, and share with your lycra-clad friends!!
Hands up if you want to take part in the iconic 2018 Swim Serpentine as part of the 600 Campaign team?! We're putting together a team of around a dozen swimmers and have spaces for the one mile (16 years and over) and possibly the half mile (12 years and over) distance. All we're asking in return for the place is that every swimmer in the team tries to raise at least £100 (ideally more!) for the Sports Campus at RLS. Full event details at https://www.swimserpentine.co.uk/ - if you'd like to express your interest, please email us at rls600@royallatin.org - first come, first served!!
