Our recent Walk to School event was a wonderful way to start the festive season! Students added a splash of Christmas cheer to their uniforms with festive accessories, creating a colourful and joyful atmosphere.

We were thrilled to see 72 student walkers take part, along with many parents and staff members who joined in the fun. The morning was filled with laughter, singing, bright colours, and community spirit. It was a perfect way to celebrate the season together.
