Students at the American Tea

American Tea – Save the Date!

The American Tea is the Shore annual Spring Fair and Fundraiser. After a two-year COVID hiatus, it is returning on Friday 9 September 2022! This event involves the whole school community including the boys, family, friends and Old Boys, and will be held on campus during the school day.

The first American Tea was held in 1936, raising 68 pounds which went to the SCEGS Jubilee Fund and later raised money for the war effort. It became an annual event and after 1945, the focus of the fundraising effort moved to providing facilities for the school. It was a tradition at the American Tea to bring a gift or a plate and then buy one, and this tradition continues to this day.

This is a great opportunity to get involved with the Shore community and a must for your diary.
