Return to the Park - Tegan Malcolm

Yesterday we completed our second Welcome Walk, return to the park. We participated in a 5k walk around the Beveridge Park.

Before the walk began the global citizenship classes sorted through all the sponsor forms and money, within the first twenty minutes we had already counted £9000 and this total is still rising! Which is significantly higher than the first count of two years ago which in the end we raised £12000.

In the morning we painted our faces with South African flags, and raised even more money. Then we started our set up for the walk. We all piled on to three golf buggies carrying chairs to the park and after a few scary moments eventually arrived and begun the set up placing chairs and markers around the park. We then went back to school to have some lunch before the walk commenced.

After arriving back at the park we waited at our stations for the walkers to pass. The first walkers eventually passed and we encouraged them on their way. Soon the walk was all over, and we were freezing so were rescued by a golf buggy and dropped back at school for South African themed classroom activates.
