Halloween Parade 2023
Our Halloween Parade took place today in our school yard and it was fantastic entertainment. Midway through the rain started to fall but thankfully the ‘Ghoulish Gathering’ was able to continue in our hall.
There was an abundance of creativity, color, and fun on display.
We must say a huge well done to all at home who helped create such magnificent costumes (and some terrifying ones too). No doubt it was difficult putting together the final touches this morning 😁
We encouraged the use of recycled costumes this year as part of our Green Schools initiative and the standard was extremely high this year. The judges had a tough job on their hands to pick award winners from all these amazing creations.
As well as this, our active school committee placed exercise stations around our track which were used all week in the lead-up to Halloween break by our classes.
Please see our Monster Parade video and picture gallery below for a snapshot of some of the amazing costumes around our school today.
Mid-term Break
We hope all pupils, parents, and staff enjoy a well-earned rest during the midterm break.
Happy Halloween
