17 great pictures of St Joseph's pupils clattered on the Colour Run for autism acceptance in Derry
The school’s Year 8, 9 and 10 boys donned white sports t-shirts that bore no resemblance to that colour after completing the course which included running, crawling and being pelted with a rainbow of colourful dust as they made their way to the finish line.
Speaking after Wednesday’s event, organiser Fiona Page said it was a wonderful fun way to mark the occasion.
School Principal, Ciara Deane said: “At St Joseph's Boys' School, inclusivity is at the heart of all we do and we recognise and celebrate that every child is unique, a reflection of our school motto 'Achievement for all'. Our building hosts two Autism Specific Classrooms: one at Key Stage 3 and one at Key Stage 4, so as a school community, we feel it's so important to raise awareness of Autism with our pupils, ensuring that our pupils understand and celebrate Autism in equal measure.”
