Deputy principal, Andrea Brunton, welcomes the torch to Elmwood School. She wrote to us:

The team brought something truly special to our school community. The students were captivated by the presentation and excited by the opportunity to hold the Peace Run torch. What impressed us most was how the team connected with every age group, from our youngest students to our Year 6 leaders. The interactive elements, including the Peace Run song and dance, made the message of peace tangible and personal for our children. The impact has been immediate and heartwarming. Our students are already talking about showing more kindness, including others, and taking personal responsibility for spreading peace in their daily lives. This is exactly the kind of positive, unifying message we want to nurture in our school. Thank you to the entire Peace Run team for this inspiring visit. You've planted seeds of peace that will continue to grow in our community.
