Each of the teenagers, who attend the upper school in Salisbury Road, is raising cash to pay for their own place on the trip with the Gerry Martin Project.

It is an 18-month scheme of learning coupled with a fundraising phase.

It culminates in 14 days in India for community and conservation-based projects.

In December the pupils raised £600 towards the fund after holding a pamper day at the school.

Tickets are still being sold for a raffle which will be drawn on Friday.

Lead teacher Paula Murphy said: "I would like to thank all the instructors who gave up their time to help the students get closer to their targets.

"Their next event is a Valentine's disco for the Year 7 and Year 8 students at the Mill Road site on Friday afternoon," she added.
