Running season has started!

Do you like running but feel you need a goal?  There are lots of organised runs you can join.  Who knows signing up might give you that little extra inspiration to train a bit harder.  Why not get a group of you together and run in the school name?  Here is a selection of some of the running events you can join in Stockholm. There is a fee for each of the events. You will receive a certificate of participation which you can put in your CAS portfolio.

Well done ELEM!

Elem had their concert on Friday evening and quite a crowd turned up.  The group managed to raise  1,562 kr which will be donated to the Nepal Project.  Great work, great music!  I hope that we will see more of these talented individuals in the future.

It was good to see that so many of you got involved with the Nepal project by participating in the walk as well as volunteering to help out.
