St David's Hospice Care are hosting the 10k Steps A Day Challenge throughout June - As a school we are committing to walking 10,000 steps every day of the month, your way.

However you reach your steps whether inside or outside, individually or with others: every step and penny raised will make a vital difference to hospice care across South East Wales.

At Caerleon Comprehensive School we are inviting Staff, Students, Parents and Carers along with their families and friends to take on the challenge: 10k A Day during the month of June.

This will help to raise vital funds for the free care and services provided to patients and families across South East Wales facing life-limiting illnesses.
