Setberg School celebrates its 30th anniversary

The staff and pupils of Setbergsskóli threw a party today.
To mark the school's 30th anniversary with an open house and a grand celebration programme.
All the school's pupils took part in creating a work of art consisting of their wishes for the future. The artwork now adorns one of the school's largest walls. To mark the occasion, it was also deemed appropriate for the school's pupils to be greeted in the morning by a new and improved play area on the school grounds. A large climbing castle, a nest swing, and swings with artificial grass underneath.
