Oldham teachers complete Three Peaks Challenge

June 30 2010

A team of teachers from Oldham have completed the Three Peaks Challenge in under 24 hours.

Over 20 employees of Failsworth School and St Cuthbert's School hiked up Ben Nevis in Scotland, Snowdon in Wales and Scafell Pike in England last weekend, the Oldham Evening Chronicle reports.

The group has so far raised more than £1,000 for charity.

Michael Kelly, integrated services co-ordinator at Failsworth School, said the event demonstrated what can be achieved by working as a team.

"With support from pupils, parents and staff alike, both Failsworth and St Cuthbert's Schools have created a new dimension to staff activities," he commented.

Mr Kelly added that plans are in place to do a similar event next year.

Meanwhile, the Watford Observer reported last month that teachers, pupils and parents at Immanuel College, in Elstree Road, successfully completed the Maccabi GB Community Fun Run, raising £1,000 for good causes.
