Halloween Parade 2022
Halloween Parade 2022
What a day!!
Our annual Halloween Parade took place today around our school track and it was fantastic entertainment. There was an abundance of creativity, color, and fun on display.
The standard was extremely high this year and the judges had a tough job on their hands to pick award winners.
Huge credit must go to all who helped create such magnificent costumes (and some terrifying ones too). Well done everybody!
We encouraged the use of recycled costumes this year as part of our Green Schools initiative.
As well as this, our active school committee placed exercise stations around our track which added to the fun.
We hope all pupils, parents, and staff enjoy a well-earned rest during the midterm break.
Happy Halloween
