We had a very successful and fun filled Active Week here in St. Aidans from May 7th-10th. In order to maintain and apply for our new Active Flag a number of criteria had to be successfully met through organisation and engagement with the ASF guidelines.
We would particularly like to thank the Active Committee for helping Miss Nyland and Mrs. Rushe in the planning and running of the week. Our committee helped in the suggestions and organisation of our week.
