Welcome Walk - Lara Paterson


The journey continued as the Welcome Walk happened all over again but this time, even better! Although we didn’t have the sun like on the walk in 2013, all the Balwearie staff and pupils had lots of fun walking around the Beverage Park with loads of preparation that went behind it.

 

The morning of the walk all the S6 pupils who had been to Cape Town and members of the global citizenship classes went round all the registration classes to collect the sponsor money to take it to the library to start counting up all the money which we managed to collect which totalised to £____. It was great to see everyone getting behind the link and supporting Welcome Primary.

 

I sadly missed the walk due to other commitments but I heard it was a great success. I managed to get back in time to help go round on the golf carts to collect all the chairs and tables from around the park. My personal highlight of the day was when Mr Currie, Makayla and I managed to fit four chairs, a table and Mr Booth on the back of the golf cart without anyone falling off. It was great to see everyone having a laugh and seeing everyone having fun together. Once everything was back at the school, Mr Currie, Rhiannon and I raced down one of the large hills in the park against Mr McGuckin and Mrs Murdoch in one golf cart and Callum (aka Stix) and Mr Clunie in another and nearly crashing into each other.

 

I’m really looking forward to coming back to Cape Town in October with Mr McGuckin and the Fifth Year pupils to see how the money we raised this year has benefitted the school.
