Forest School was given 180 bottles of water by the Co-op for the children to be drunk and then refilled with money.
Head teacher Gary Le Huray said the school had done something similar after the Boxing Day 2004 tsunami.
‘It was very successful,’ he said. ‘I called up the Co-op and within a couple of hours they responded .’
Mr Le Huray had shown pupils footage of the devastation in Haiti they were only too pleased to help.
All pupils and several staff will be given a bottle to fill.
At St Andrew’s School, each class has been given a two-litre bottle to drink and refill with cash, also for Bridge 2 Sri Lanka.
Head teacher Linda Paley had explained to the pupils why the aid was needed so urgently.
