On 6th February this year, Her Majesty The Queen became the first British Monarch to celebrate a Platinum Jubilee, marking 70 years of service to the people of the United Kingdom, the Realms and the Commonwealth. There are events, community activities and celebrations as well as national moments of reflection taking place throughout the year, including a four day UK bank holiday weekend from Thursday 2nd to Sunday 5th June 2022.
To celebrate this unprecedented anniversary, St Vincent’s community celebrated together in The Big Lunch with a whole school ‘Picnic on the Pitch’ on Friday 27th May 2022 between 12 noon – 1pm. Children came to school dressed in Red, White and Blue – the colours of the British Flag. The PTA kindly gave the each child a cupcake as a treat to bring even more smiles to their faces and help mark this special occasion.
This small gesture to share food, friendship and fun is in celebration of this momentous and joyous event in honour of Her Majesty The Queen, Elizabeth II.
