Every year, we do something ridiculous together as a staff team.
Last year it was Minecraft (the less said about the lava chicken, the better).
This year? Pokemon.
One of our team (ahem) took it very seriously (full Ash Ketchum costume, gloves, the lot).
The rest spent the morning chasing Ripley – our resident blue monster – around every corner of Seale Hayne.
Ripley, for the record, spent most of the time playing the piano, hanging out in trees and peering around doors. Absolutely no intention of being caught.
We struck poses, synchronised dancing broke out, and we laughed until it hurt.
Because the people who work with some of the most complex, amazing, brilliant, exhausting, rewarding young people in education deserve a moment to be completely, unapologetically silly!
This is our team. We’re incredibly proud of every single one of them.
