On 17th March some of the students of de Stafford School in Caterham celebrated St. Patrick's Day by going to school wearing green and taking part in celebrations.

The celebrations included performances of Irish poetry, songs and dancing by the students in St. Patrick's House. The event also raised money for TAG, a charity which helps Patrick House student, Megan Downs, and other young people who suffer from Arthrogryposis.

Arthrogryposis is a disability which affects the joints, causing them to stiffen, therefore restricting movement. TAG supports young people and holds activity weekends, camps, Christmas parties and social events, giving people with the disability the opportunity to talk and share their experiences.

Megan said: "I love going to TAG- it gives me confidence as I'm able to do activities that I can't normally do. I'm able to make new friends and do new things and it gives my family information so they are able to support me."

The day was a huge success, with the total amount raised totalling £114.
