💧 Project Compassion – The Big Water Walk 💧 Students at St Nicholas of Myra recently took part in The Big Water Walk, stepping into the shoes of those around the world who walk long distances every day to access clean water. Carrying buckets of water around a course, our students experienced just a small glimpse of the challenges faced by communities in Africa, Asia and the Pacific. Through this powerful activity, they built empathy, awareness and a deeper understanding of the importance of water as a basic human right. We are so proud of our students for showing compassion, resilience and a commitment to making a difference. 🌏💙
