What a way to end the term!
We had a fun day outside enjoying games run by our PALS then sharing and celebrating our pets.
The weather was perfect!
Huge thank you to our dedicated Pets Day Committee, sponsors Vet Services and Wrightsons CHB for an amazing array of prizes!
To our Judges who gave up their time and to our families for bringing the pets in and joining us for the afternoon.
