What an amazing day it was Monday when the school converged on the oval to take part in the Colour Run 2025.
Preparations began early with setting up the oval, putting out the coloured powders, installing the inflatables and marking the course. Each year level had a run of the track, with some students treating it like an Olympic event and others enjoying a more leisurely stroll. Regardless of how they moved, our parent volunteers were sure that everyone was doused with colour and the occasionally water spray as they made their way around.
After all the year levels had a go, posed for a group photo and then had a well earned icy pole, our lucky staff crew of Mr Worlley, Miss Abbott, Mrs G, Miss Cath, Miss Hooper and Miss Dooley braved the trip as they completed two laps of colour and water much to the crowd's enjoyment. Finally, once we had passed the $30,000 grossed raised figure, Mr Hone was ambushed by seemingly hundreds of assailants throwing colour and water. At the stage he is still flushing colour out of his ears.
It was all for a good cause and the funds raised will go towards revitalising the oval space to make it more useable for our student. We need send our big thanks to the students and staff for their enthusiastic approach to the day, the parents who volunteered, sponsored or just cheered on, but most of all to our wonderful organisers Susan Lee, Stacey Louras and Kylie Macfarlane!
For those families who signed up and made a fundraising account, parents will be able to select their children’s prizes from today until Monday, 31/03/2025. Please note that all families can continue to fundraise up until that date, which will be helpful for students who have not yet reached their fundraising target.
