Fundraising for Dance4Life, Class 9 students have done a tremendous job this year. Reports in previous website newsletters tell more of their activities. 200 classes throughout the Netherlands took part in Class4life fundraising and three of the year 9 ISH classes taking part came in the top 20, with 9A taking fourth place! These are the astonishing results: Class 9c – EUR 600, class 9e - EUR 682, class 9b - EUR 1195, class 9d - EUR 2032, class 9a EUR 3300. This means that the Class4life OT   raised twice as much as the whole of the school raised last year.   Well done!
