Supporting Education Through Sweet Treats: A Successful Bake Sale at Mulberry Stepney Green

/in , , /by

From September 9th to 13th, Mulberry Stepney Green hosted an incredible bake sale, and we are thrilled to share that we raised nearly **£1500** for Leana Girls High School!

This fundraising initiative is more than just a delicious way to support a good cause; it’s about empowering orphaned and vulnerable girls aged 11-22 to access education and promote gender equality. Every cake, biscuit, and treat sold contributes directly to this vital mission.

A heartfelt thank you to everyone who participated, donated, and baked to make this event a success. Together, we’re making a meaningful impact on the lives of these young girls and helping pave the way for a brighter future!

On Wednesday 26th June, a group of SEN students had the exciting opportunity to participate in a food growing and outdoor learning project at Stepney City Farm. This aimed to teach invaluable gardening skills and provide opportunities for hands-on experience of local agriculture.

Beyond the educational aspects, the project was an opportunity for the students to enhance their social skills, interact with others and build friendships. They also literally enjoyed the fruits of their labour, as some students had the chance to taste the broad beans they planted.

This term, students have been working on their new ‘Urban Environments’ project, exploring new artists and materials to build their skills. They started by looking at works by contemporary Korean artist Sunga Park, exploring different buildings and refining work with a fine liner pen. 

The second artist they explored, Tom Quigley, uses Manchester as the backdrop to his paintings. The students used acrylic paint, rather than oils, to explore techniques for layering, building texture and mixing colour.

This term, Mulberry Stepney Green celebrated its role model students, rewarding their achievements, perfect 100 per cent attendance and positive behaviour, with a trip to Hollywood Bowl.

These students consistently contribute to the school community and we’re hugely grateful to the Jack Petchey Foundation for funding a fun day of bowling, lunch and arcade games that gave us the opportunity to show our appreciation for these exceptional individuals. 

The fact that venue staff commented on how well-behaved and polite they were just added to our reasons to be proud of them, and sealed the success of the day.
