Fashion Show finale for Charity Week

The Fashion Show over two nights was a glorious finale for this year’s Charity Week, organised entirely by Portsmouth High School’s Sixth Form. Spearheaded by the Head Girl Team, the week was a non-stop round of events from a Fancy Dress Parade to Family Feud and from a Talent Show to a netball match, all to raise as much money as possible for The Lily Foundation.

Money is still coming in but already this year’s total has flown past £10,000, an incredible achievement.
