- Well done to the Winners! Robin and Michaela
On Saturday the 20th May 2017 , 49 Kirkcolm Primary School children took part in the 48th annual sponsored school mini walk of 7 miles. This year it was organised by the parent council fundraising team. It is hoped they will have raised enough money to cover their school outing in June to the Galloway Activity Centre.
P1-P3’s left the school at 9am with the P4-7’s in hot pursuit at 9.10am. It took 2 hrs and 36 minutes for all the children to complete the 7 miles. The fastest boy, breaking the school record, was Robin McAuley, completing it in 52mins and 28 seconds. Well done Robin
The fastest girl was Michaela Lyon who completed it in 1 hour, 10 mins and 03 seconds. Well done Michaela!
The results were
1st boy Robin McAuley (P5) 52.28
2nd boy Craig Agnew (P7) 54.00
3rd boy Robbie Agnew (P7) 55.10
1st girl Michaela Lyon (P5) 1.10.03
2nd girl Katie Butler (P6) 1.14.04
3rd girl Arla McCulloch (P3) 1.18.00
The school parents really pulled together and had 6 check points lining the route with refreshments available for the walkers. They had volunteers marshalling road junctions on the route. Special thanks goes to Alison Murray, our Active schools co-ordinator and PC Nicola Wilson and her 3 police youth volunteers who came to help us on the day.
The 7 mile route took walkers into the village, up the huge hill past the church and out to Ervie. The route then took the children in a loop past the old school at Mahaar and back into the village and to the school. Families and volunteers enjoyed a much needed lunch together, donated by the parents at the school to complete the event.
Many thanks to everyone who helped on the day and a huge well done to all the children for completing the 7 miles!
