Sponsored Walk

The whole school embarked on a sponsored walk today in order to raise funds for our Rwanda 2013 expedition. The weather was great and it was an excellent day - all the pupils did very well.
P7 - S6 had to walk 10 miles: from the school to Lunderston Bay (via the Esplanade) and then back to Gourock train station. Here are some photos taken along the way:

We met up with Primary 1 along the way:

Jacqueline was on hand to offer any assistance (or just a cup of tea) that was required:

We made it to Lunderston Bay:

We popped into the Garden Centre for a cup of tea. Sarah Kakooza, who is one of the founders of the charity that we will be working with in Rwanda, met us there:

The journey back to Gourock was more challenging and some were beginning to wilt...

Others remained full of life!!!

We made it to the finish point - well done!!!

Stuart and Mr C had different strategies for coping with the weather...
