They decided that they wanted to help the cause at this time of year and spread a little Christmas cheer.
College house managers came up with idea in the lead up to the end of term.
For their generosity, students were rewarded with a RAK (Random Act of Kindness) which equates to house points for their house.
All RAK's were entered into a prize drawer where one winner from each House received a Cineworld voucher.

Cathy Wright, manager of the foodbank, visited to accept the donations, which were handed over by the house captains.
