Road Patrol March

On Friday a group of our School Patrol went into Wellington for the annual march. This was the first time we have been involved in this. Lots of schools participate in this march from Parliament to the Old Town Hall.
It was a really windy day but at least the rain held off until after the entertainment that was put on for us at the end of the march.
A special thanks went out to the parents and teachers who help out each day at the crossing. You are awesome!
