Making a Difference
SOCIAL RESPONSIBIILITY
Part of Something Bigger.
Sixth Form is a time for students to consider what matters to them and how they can contribute.
Dedicated time within the Sixth Form programme enables students to volunteer, support causes they care about, lead projects and work with communities locally and further afield.
These experiences develop confidence, leadership and a deeper understanding of the world. They also bring students together with people whose lives may be very different from their own, encouraging them to consider the contribution they can make.
Making a difference has always been part of life at CHS. In Sixth Form, students have greater independence to decide what that means for them.
Get Involved. Give Something Back.
SOCIAL IMPACT
CHS works with schools, charities and community organisations across Greater Manchester and beyond.
Sixth Form students work with younger pupils, support local charities, fundraise, volunteer and help to lead projects of their own. Through the House system, they also support local causes and respond to issues and events in the wider world.
These experiences enable students to contribute while also listening, learning and seeing the world from different perspectives.
Causes we care about
CHARITIES
Across CHS, students support a range of local, national and international causes.
In addition to supporting our whole school charities, The 1 in 6 Campaign and CHS in The Gambia, each House selects a local charity to support over a two year period.
The current charities are:
Ronald McDonald (Clarke House)
Hearts for Harry (Whitehead House)
ARC (Allen House)
Dogs home (Marsh House)
Model United Nations Cheadle Hulme (MUNCH) supports Small Steps Foundation, a charity in Uganda established by Old Waconian, Cat Dunlop, Class of 2012.
CHS in The Gambia
WHOLE SCHOOL CHARITY
CHS’s relationship with The Gambia began in 2010 and has grown into a long-standing partnership with a school community there.
Students have helped raise funds and support projects over many years, with Sixth Form students also having the opportunity to take part in visits.
For those who go, it’s an opportunity to experience a very different community first-hand, build relationships and gain a different perspective on the world.
