St Andrews School Walkerville...what an outstanding achievement!

"Walk to School Day" will hopefully be a day the children of Makuluni will come to understand as the day they were remembered by the St Andrew's school community who with such big smiles and open hearts also opened their wardrobes too!

The school yard was buzzing as the children brought their shoes, boots, sandals, soccer shoes,footy boots and 'very favourites' they had outgrown - as well as mum and dads shoes for which we were also very grateful. They excitedly line the pairs up, tying the laces and buckles together so they wouldnt get muddled up and keeping count of the pairs...which kept coming! Hopefully there will be teachers and healthworkers as well as mums and dads in the village who will also recognise that they are in the thoughts of people on the other side of the world.

An enormous thank you again to the staff , parents and students that supported the event - shoes are still being counted but over 400 pairs in 3 days is simply extraordinary. The Eggleton students should feel very proud of their hard work and a big thank you to the Grade 5 girls who helped keep things in order, as well as the students from Eggleton who kept the tallying going as the shoes arrived! Not to mention the people who sorted the shoes into sizes and varieties before we collected them!!
