Doon is once Again an Active school
We done to all those who helped Doon CBS become an active school. We were officially awarded our 3rd active flag on the 17th June 2022. As a special prize for winning our 3rd flag, we were presented with a brand new portable speaker. This will be of much use throughout the years.
Skip Around the World
Skip Around the World
Well done to all who took part in our 'Skip Around the World' challenge especially our Active Schools committee for encouraging everyone. We skipped every day after lunch for 15 minutes and completed an amazing 14,132 skips and more. It was great to see that so many took to skipping during our break times as well. It was great to learn about the different places around the world also, from the Pyramids in Giza to Machu Picchu in Peru. We also received 50 skipping ropes which were distributed to those who needed one. We will continue to skip for the remainder of the year to improve our co-ordination, balance and jumping ability.
