Celtic Day

Written by: Katie

The day for our annual adventure up to the Boys' School for Celtic Day had finally arrived. We all arrived very early at Preschool on Friday 6th May, sashes were neatly pinned onto small shoulders, and with friends and teachers in tow, we headed up to the bus for our very exciting 10 minute trip through Remuera.

When we arrived at the Boys' School we were given the very important task of leading the parade (just behind the Pipe Band, drummers, Trust Board and Principals). All the boys did such a wonderful job at setting the pace for the older boys to follow, what a great workout for little legs!

During the Ceremony everyone sat quietly on the field in the open with the sun shining. We listened carefully to the speeches and the Ode to the Haggis showcasing our Saint Kentigern value of Respect to the Boys' School community. Upon our return to Preschool, it was time to refuel our bodies with a yummy morning tea with haggis on the side.

As teachers, we are so proud of all our Preschool boys that did such a great job listening, walking in the parade and looking smart in their tartan, well done boys!
