Somersfield Students Triumph in Bermuda Day Races
On Friday the 24th of May, our students demonstrated remarkable achievements in various races, showcasing the hard work and dedication they've invested throughout the year. A massive thank you to Vivienne Lochhead and Laurie Orchard for volunteering so much of their time to running club this school year. They have instilled a passion for running in many students that will hopefully remain a healthy habit for them throughout their lives. Thank you also to all of the other parents who facilitated their children taking part in the races on Friday.

Community Run in Honour of Former Teacher Reid Kempe
The Somersfield Academy community gathers annually for the Reid Kempe memorial run, honouring the beloved former teacher. Led by spirited house captains and teachers, students race a challenging 3-mile route, embodying the competitive yet supportive ethos Kempe instilled. Daughter Zoe, a dedicated participant, cherishes the event as a tribute to her father's legacy and his passion for running. Reflecting Kempe's influence, the run fosters camaraderie and positivity, resonating deeply with participants.
