The Kowhai students sang a beautiful song to welcome the peace runners and gathered in the school hall to hear the Peace Run message.

Each student then had the opportunity to hold the Peace Torch and make a wish for peace.

A very big 'thank you' to teacher, Milly Morice for organising the Peace Run at Kowhai Intermediate School.

Peace is joy!
