Despite the rainy weather, spirits were high as students and staff embraced the festive spirit of St Patrick’s Day by donning green attire. Burdekin Christian College hallways were filled with excitement as participants took part in various themed activities, bringing a touch of Ireland to the occasion.
Among those enjoying the celebrations was Miss Diamond, who was particularly delighted by the festivities, reminiscent of her homeland. The event was an opportunity for students to learn more about Irish culture and traditions while having fun.
One of the highlights of the day was the sharing of an old Irish blessing: “May your heart be light and happy, may your smile be big and wide, and may your pockets always have a coin or two inside.” The sentiment captured the joyful atmosphere of the day as students enthusiastically participated in games, crafts, and storytelling sessions.
The search for the elusive pot of gold at the end of the rainbow added to the excitement, with pupils eager to uncover hidden treasures around the school grounds. Staff also joined in the celebrations, making the day a memorable one for all involved.
The event proved to be a wonderful way to mark St Patrick’s Day, fostering a sense of community and cultural appreciation. As the festivities came to a close, students left with smiles on their faces and a greater understanding of the rich traditions of Ireland.
Happy St Patrick’s Day to all!
