Hello, I am Welly. Nice to meet you!
Hello, my name is Welly. As you can see, I am a lion cub and I represent the Nest as your new mascot. I am here to help support you, and we can learn and have fun together. I will be sending some exciting messages about my daily life here at the school, especially for you. I am sure we will be great friends!
Why was the little lion created?
Welly was created to give children a mascot/role model to relate to. Our school crest is in the design of a lion, so it was a natural progression to create Welly as a lion, strong and confident to share stories and information from a child's perspective.
