Cheese & Wine Evening - A Huge Success!!!

Posted by admin - November 17th, 2008

The school Cheese and Wine evening which took part on Friday 14th November was a huge success and raised a considerable amount of money for HSA. Thanks to the generosity of all the sponsors and the HSA team who worked so hard on the night and in the run up to the events, a great evening of fund raising was achieved.

Some photos of the evening are below:
