St David's Day Hat Competition

As part of our St David’s Day celebrations we had a St David’s Day hat competition. Students had to create their own Welsh themed hat and bring it in on St. David’s Day. Then, we had our students parade around the school in their hats.

Our students had so much fun getting creative making their own hats.. And it was great to see how different they all were. Here are just two of the hats that were brought in;

WHAT IS ST. DAVID’S DAY?

St. David’s Day is a Welsh national holiday celebrated on March 1st each year. This is to celebrate and remember Saint David, the patron saint of Wales.

To celebrate this day, across welsh there will be various festivities that showcase Welsh culture, heritage, and traditions.

Many people will wear daffodils or leeks, which are symbols of Wales. They may also participate in parades, concerts, and traditional folk dances. It is a time for people to come together to celebrate their Welsh identity and commemorate the life and contributions of Saint David.
