Auction prizes
We are working hard to put together a large range of extraordinary auction prizes and we would like to get all the community involved to make the night extra special. Are you the lucky owner of a beautiful holiday home that you could spare for some days? Would you mind sharing your flamboyant car for a day? Or simply get creative and think of how to put your talents to work for the community! Remember every penny we raise will directly go to our chosen charities.
Here are only a few examples of auction prizes that could raise lots of interest with your fellow parents:
- A shadow working experience for one of the boys.
- Our school community is very talented. Share your passion and knowledge in a masterclass where you can share one of your talents (photography, cycling, guitar, a foreign language, make-up, cake decoration, gardening, calligraphy, scrapbooking, 3D printing, knitting…)
- A cooking class. Teach how to cook a proper Sunday roast, curry, crispy roles, sushi, a Spanish tortilla, the best BBQ…
- Tickets to the theatre, sports matches, concerts, music festivals, Wimbledon, Glyndebourne, Royal Ascot… that you can no longer make.
- Day invitation to your country club.
- VIP pass to a venue.
- Do you happen to know a celebrity? Get them to donate something to make someone in our school community happy while raising funds for our charities!
