Sponsored Walk

On June 29th, in Week 4 of the final half term of this academic year, the entirety of Deer Park will participate in a whole-school Sponsored Walk. On the day, every Deer Park child will complete an age-appropriate walking challenge in Richmond Park with their teachers. Walking distances range from 2 km to 12 km, which we believe to be both achievable and stretching for the children and a true opportunity for them to display the Deer Park HEART values. All children will finish their walking challenges at Petersham Gate and participate in a whole-school celebratory picnic before returning to school. The PTA is coordinating the route planning, volunteers and fundraising efforts for this event so please keep an eye out for more detailed communication in the upcoming weeks. As you can imagine, an event of this magnitude can’t happen without the support of our wonderful Deer Park parental community in the form of walkers, marshals and drivers. We hope this is an inspiring and memorable day for the children, staff and volunteers and one that becomes an annual tradition for our school community.
