Hoodies Up! Awareness Day
On Monday 25th March, Marlborough Primary School will celebrate Autism Awareness, through the Hoodies Up! campaign. Students are asked to wear a hoodie as well as free dress to show their understanding, acceptance and support of the autistic community. April is Autism Awareness month and we ask the Marlborough community to wear hoodies, because some Autistic people experience sensory sensitivities and can become overloaded by stimuli in their environment. Wearing their hoodie up means they can block out bright lights and busy environments which helps calm them. We will have an assembly at 9:00, and some students from the Marlborough community will talk about their experiences. Grades will then watch short educational videos in their classrooms.
Thank you,
Junior School Council

The Ride2School program is designed to work with whole school communities to increase active travel. The Ride2School program encourages our student to actively travel every day.
For the week of March 19th to 22nd March we are encouraging students to actively travel to school every day by walk, ride or scoot and kick start healthy habits for the future. .
