We had two bouncy castles in the school which the children thoroughly enjoyed! Well done to all the boys and girls for their excellent behaviour and participation on Sports Day 2022!
Flag Day 2022
Walterstown NS held “Flag Day” yesterday to celebrate the awarding of three flags that we successfully earned this year. Our school was very proud of this huge achievement!
WNS were awarded the:
- Green Flag
- Active Flag
- Amber Flag
The whole school community worked very hard to meet the criteria for each of the above flags. We held a whole school assembly on the yard – the first time we were able to do this in a long time! Members of the Green, Active and Amber Flag Committees spoke before each flag was raised to a rounding applause!
Afterwards, the Parents’ Association kindly organised a visit from the ice-cream van to celebrate the amazing achievement. Everyone was delighted with their ice-cream/slushie!
Well done to all involved!
