Please see the list below of items that we would like to collect, all donations are greatly appreciated. If you can please bring the donation items to Halcyon by Wednesday 30 September. The CAS Students will organise and itemise the donations which will be sent to Bulgaria and Greece.
Practice for the PSAT
The PSAT has the same structure as the new SAT, just without some of the hardest questions (or the optional essay). Not only is it great practice for the SAT, but your PSAT results can also help you earn national recognition and scholarships.
