Filipa Solidário O Filipa Solidário é o órgão responsável pelo voluntariado feito pelos alunos e professores durante o ano letivo. Desde que se formou o Filipa Solidário, a escola tem vindo a apoiar inúmeras causas, nomeadamente, e mais recentemente, os refugiados, o CPR. Neste projeto toda a escola foi sensibilizada sobre o assunto e a mesma se disponibilizou para ajudar. Cada ano estava responsável por doar certos produtos, que no final seriam entregues ao Conselho Português para os Refugiados (CPR). Esta recolha de objetos de higiene foi feita durante o período de 29 de Fevereiro a 14 de Março.

Que produtos doar? • Pré-escolar: – Pasta de dentes • 1º Ciclo: – Gel de Banho • 2º Ciclo: – Leite de Corpo • 3º Ciclo: – Shampoo • Ensino Secundário: – Giletes descartáveis; – Escovas de Dentes; – Escovas de Cabelo.
