Olympic/Paralympic Celebration Day – Quex Park

Delivered in partnership with The Ursuline College, a day of epic proportions took place at Quex Park in Birchington-on-Sea, with over 2000 students from schools across Thanet coming together to celebrate the coming Olympics/Paralympic Games.

Organisations from across Kent, provided students with a cornucopia of workshops, that swamped Quex in a glittering array of colour and fevered excitement. Whether the students were decorating an Olympic Box with carefully crafted designs, paintballing, competing in volleyball or learning the art of Chinese calligraphy (to name a few of the workshops!!), no stone was left unturned in ensuring that there was, at the very least, something for everyone.

A world record attempt took place during the lunch hour as well as performances from local singers that kept everyone thoroughly entertained as they refueled for the next bout of energetic workshops! An incredible day that emphasized the power of partnership between industry and education, ensuring the legacy of the impending Games remains etched in the hearts and minds of Thanet’s schoolchildren for years to come.
