Don’t get mad… make a difference

CORNISH College turned MAD last week.
It was Make a Difference week and students, parents and staff came together to learn about sustainability.
The whole school timetable was reinvented to make way for the MAD activities and a photo for the ages was created when the on-site Radio Helicopter Club took a photo of the students and teachers standing in the shape of the Rings of Sustainability using a drone.
Colour graced the school yard when the students were let loose on Friday 26 June.
The school turned into a sea of walking colour for the last day of their MAD week when the students got sprayed with colour infused water as they ran around the school’s 100 acres.
