Easter Meet-Up 2026

Posted: 26-03-2026

Our Easter meet-up marked a special moment this term, as pupils came together for the first time at our newly opened Minster House hub in Wimborne. For many, it was their first visit to the space, and they approached the day with enthusiasm, ready to connect, take part and enjoy something a little different.

The day was centred around a range of Easter-themed activities, giving pupils the chance to engage in both creative and active experiences. Indoors, pupils enjoyed card making, creating rice bunnies and decorating shortcake biscuits, taking pride in their work and sharing ideas with one another. Outside, the atmosphere was lively, with an egg and spoon race, a fun tug of war involving both pupils and staff, and an Easter scavenger hunt in the local community, encouraging teamwork and exploration.

The meet-up provided a valuable opportunity for pupils to spend time together in a relaxed and supportive environment. It was encouraging to see conversations flow more easily, pupils supporting one another and many feeling confident enough to step slightly outside of their comfort zones. These shared experiences play an important role in developing social skills, building relationships and strengthening a sense of belonging.

Minster House has already begun to feel like a positive and welcoming space where pupils can connect and grow. The day reflected the progress pupils are making, not only in their confidence and independence, but also in how they interact with and support those around them.

We are proud of how pupils approached the day and embraced the opportunities available to them, continuing to engage, succeed, thrive and embody what it means to be part of RISE.
