Harrow International School Bengaluru recently celebrated the success of the first Long Ducker Run, held on Saturday 13 April. Originating from Harrow School in London, the Long Ducker Run is a cherished charitable tradition. Every year, students, teachers, parents, and their friends participate in a sponsored run, representing the journey along the Harrow Road from Marble Arch in Central London to Harrow-on-the-Hill.
This year, our students, their parents, teachers and friends at Harrow Bengaluru came together for a 2km and 4km run, raising funds for Each One Teach One (our own service programme, which allows our students to support local government primary schools) and CUPA (an animal protection charity chosen by the students).
Beyond the race itself, the day was filled with enjoyment. A brunch was served at 9:30 am for students, parents and supporters. This was followed by a morning of carnival activities with the swimming pool open, a bouncy castle style obstacle course, and a number of stalls offering a variety of games, run by students.
