Ex Pupil Update

We are so proud of ex Penn Haller Ben Phillips. Ben and his cousin Rosie set themselves the target of completing 100 Rubik's Cubes in 100 minutes on May 1st as part of the Captain Tom 100 challenge. Ben has utilised his Penn Hall 'can do' spirit to find a different way of completing the Rubik's Cube by using his nose! The sponsorship money raised as part of the challenge is going to Kidasha, a charity working with children living in poverty in Nepal. Ben left Penn Hall in 2017 and is looking forward to embarking on a maths degree at Derby University in September.

You can read more about Ben and Rosie's appeal and how to donate herehttps://www.expressandstar.com/news/local-hubs/wolverhampton/2021/05/05/wolverhampton-cousins-tackle-tricky-puzzle-for-charity/
