Five of the Year 7 Service students attended the celebratory “Festival of Friends” at Oxford Brookes University on Thursday 22nd June.
This was a collection of over 20 Oxfordshire schools who have engaged in a project of their choice to enhance the support for service children within their school.
Mr Lyons (Services Champion) was proud to be one of the four network leads, who handed out certificates to all schools that participated. “It was especially pleasing to see Wallingford students take on the challenge of being a mentor to younger students, with the aim of supporting our up and coming Year 6 Service students from September.
The day started with a juggling master class with Steve Royale (3rd in BGT Final 2020), followed by a tour of the campus and then, after dinner, a chance to look at the other schools’ displays to see what great work has been going on. Finally, we all gathered in the lecture theatre to have a performance from Steve and receive our certificates.
A good year capped off for these students.
