Big Lent Walk

Recently, the whole school took part in the Big Lent Walk for CAFOD, raising money to buy glitter chickens for families in Kenya. These chickens are very hardy and don’t need much water so are ideal for the drought conditions experienced in Kenya. We will know how much we’ve collected shortly.
