Good Shepherd Appeal 2022

The SJF Penny War 

It is time for the SJF Penny War, in aid of the Bishop’s ‘Good Shepherd Appeal’ to commence!

The pupils are invited to collect pennies and two-pence pieces in their class collecting jars at the beginning of each day.

A penny is worth one point and a two-pence piece is worth two points. However, silver coins can be used to sabotage another class’s total because silver coins deposited into the jar of another class jar will reduce the total number of points in that jar. A 5p piece will reduce the total number of points accumulated by 5 points, 10p will reduce the total by 10 points, 20p by 20 points and 50p by 50 points.

At the end of the week the coins will be counted and once all deductions have been made, the victorious class will be announced and rewarded with some ‘Golden Time’. All money raised will be passed on to support the vital work of our key Diocesan charities.
