Move It Day for Caritas

On Wednesday 16 April the students of Saint Paul’s School, Richmond, Nelson participated in a fund raising day to raise money for the Caritas Solomon Islands Appeal. The first part of the day saw the students doing wide range of physical activities to benefit the school. The activities ranged from pulling weeds and mulching the school gardens to collecting rubbish and sweeping the classroom courtyards. At lunchtime the children were able to buy lunch for a gold coin donation and this was followed by fun lunchtime activities such as jump jam, tennis and scooters. At the end of lunch they all gathered to have a photograph taken with the Solomon Islands flag that was provided by one of the children who have family and friends who come form the Solomon Islands. The day raised $350.00
