Raphael House Welcome |
A major highlight of the calendar at Raphael House is the annual Toy, Craft and Food Festival. This community event is a time where families, present and past staff and students and interested visitors gather together for a taste of the school culture.

Toys, Crafts and Food in the sun |
|
As well as a wide selection of food and refreshment, there are lots of fun activities for kids, gift and craft sales, displays, musical and other performances. A new activity this year was the climbing tower, supervised by ex pupil and climbing expert Frank Foster of Top Adventures.

pocket lady |
Cassy was a star performer as the ever popular 'pocket lady'. Take a lucky dip in one of those pockets for a surprise gift.
These images can only give a small impression. We haven't shown the little peoples' room, cookie garden, live music, students' work exhibition, candle dipping and many other hands-on activities that gave the day its characteristic flavour. We hope to see you there next year!
