Spotlight on Pembroke School
Year 6 students stepping up to help end homelessness.
Teacher, Callum, has seen firsthand the impact of doing Walk a Mile in My Boots on the Pembroke School community.
"At school, students have walked laps of the oval together and taken part in the final community walk run by Hutt St Centre. We see Walk a Mile in My Boots as a valuable way for our students to make a contribution to their community.”
"A memorable moment was seeing a Year 6 student invited by the Premier to cut the ribbon to start the walk."
