Local children party in the park with some very special guests

The Easter Bunny arrived at a picnic in Wallace Park, which was held to mark the success of a cross-community project involving Pond Park Nursery and St Aloysius Nursery Unit.

The PACT project, run by the Integrated Education Fund, supports schools of all types who join to explore cultural differences.

The Easter Bunny helped Geraldine Tigchelaar, Chair of the IEF, and teaching staff to hand out medals, certificates and sweets to all the pupils.

PACT involves schools, parents and the wider community, and many of the children from Pond Park and St Aloysius were accompanied by relatives as they enjoyed the play equipment and a juggler before their picnic.
