St. Ninian's were well represented at the annual Tynwald Day School Parade which marks the start of the formal proceedings on Tynwald Day in St. Johns. Representatives from our Sixth Form senior student team, Key Stage Four and Key Stage three students and teachers carried our school banner and our national flag along the march which finishes at Tynwald Hill.
The School Parade is a precursor to the main church service and Tynwald ceremony on the hill. The weather was bright, if a little windy, and all enjoyed being part of our national day.
Members of our Student Leadership Team joined their colleagues from the other school at the Garden Party in the grounds of the Governor's House on the Sunday afternoon prior to Tynwald Day as well as at the Beating of the Retreat ceremony which this year was held on the evening of Tynwald Day.
Our Head of Sixth Form, Mr. Schofield also bumped into a former student from his previous school who was visiting the island as part of the military band that had been invited over to take part in the Tynwald Day ceremony.
