Hermie Fun Run 2025

Ready Steady Run!

Hermie Fun Run 2025 will be taking place on Wednesday the 26th of February to raise funds for new sports equipment for the school.

The event is during the school day, but parents and carers are invited to come along to cheer on the kids. This year, the whole school is taking part!

The fundraising idea for this years event comes from Hermie's Sports Council, who hope to achieve the target of £1000 for new sports equipment for the school, such as new gym benches and badminton equipment.

The Sports Council is made up of from children in P5-P7 and, working with the P.E. specialist and Active Schools coordinator, it’s purpose is to raise the profile of sport around the school. They meet twice a term to organise events and discuss new initiatives and projects.

Sport is important as it helps to improve physical and mental health and overall wellbeing. It can help to boost mood, resilience, improves learning, improves behaviour, communication, self-esteem and overall health and immunity.

The initiatives with the Sports Council so far have made the children feel more empowered with the decision-making process within the school. It has also put sport and wellbeing into the spotlight around the school.

We hope you’ll join us in showing all the kids your support, whether through a donation or encouragement to take part and have fun on the day.
