IMPORTANT: Colour Run Event Information for Parents

Thursday 19 November - 2.00-3.30pm

FREE DRESS DAY FOR ALL STUDENTS!

Thank you for supporting our 2026 Colour Fun Run. We are so excited it’s finally happening and look forward to the brightest day at school! Here is a breakdown of timings and relevant information for the day – there is a lot here, so please take time to familiarise yourself with the details.

• We will be splitting the fun run into year level groups: Foundation, Grades 1/2, Grades 3/4, Grade 5/6.
• Each group will have approximately 5 minutes to run the course. The course will zig-zag up and down the oval past 4 colour stations and various obstacles.
• All students will gather in their classes/grades on the oval near the art building by 2:00pm. The first run will commence at 2:15pm.
• We recommend students apply sunscreen before gathering on the oval.
• Please note there is an Opt-Out event set up on Compass – if you do not want your child to participate in the Colour Run, please decline this event in compass by 9am Thursday 19 November so staff are aware and can make appropriate arrangements.
• Students that have opted-out of participating in the Colour Fun Run will still be allowed to spectate and cheer their classmates on. All measures have been taken to ensure that this event is safe for all students. The colour powder is made from 98% corn starch and 2% food colouring, making it non-toxic, biodegradable and gluten-free. 
• The volunteers will do their best to aim the powder towards the torso. However, wind may cause the powder to blow onto your child’s face or hair. Please supply sunglasses if you are concerned about this.
• Students can bypass the colour stations if they wish. 
• Teachers will organise to have someone run with any students that may need assistance navigating some of the obstacles.
• Students must be in free dress to participate. Students cannot participate in their school uniform. All students can participate even if they haven’t been fundraising.
• It is recommended they wear a white/light coloured top and pants/shorts that will show up the bright colours brilliantly!
• It’s a good idea to bring a towel for clean-up and to sit on in the car on the way home
• Students who are going to after school care should also bring a change of clothes.
• We would love to see parents in attendance, supporting their kids and enjoying the fun and colour too! 😊 Parents and friends are welcome on the School Oval from 2pm. 
• Students will bring their bags and water bottles to the oval ready to go home after the run – they will be dismissed from the oval
• All online donations are due to close the next day Friday 20 November at midday. Please get any last donations in by this time as we will be drawing the team and individual prizes at assembly that afternoon

Kind regards,

Social and Fundraising Committee 2027: Help Shape Another Great Year at Le Page

So many of the things our children enjoy at school, from special events and activities to extra resources and improvements, happen because parents in our community give a little of their time to make them possible.

As several long-standing committee members move on at the end of this year, we're looking for a new group of parents to help carry that momentum into 2027.

The Social and Fundraising Committee plays an important role in bringing our school community together and supporting initiatives that benefit all students. To keep that going, we're looking for parents to step into lead committee roles, along with a few others to join the team.

This is not about running every event yourself. It's about working with other parents to plan activities, share ideas and help shape the annual calendar.

Curious to learn more?

Join us at our next meeting on Tuesday 17 November, where current and incoming members will work together to plan the 2027 calendar. You'll meet the team, see what’s involved and have the opportunity to learn from those who have been doing it for years.

No fundraising experience is needed. Just a willingness to get involved, connect with other families and help create great experiences for our kids.

The activities, community events and fundraising successes don't happen on their own. They're the result of parents coming together and contributing in whatever way they can.

Interested in being part of it? Email lepagesocialandfundraising@gmail.com to let us know you're coming along, or simply to express your interest.

Together, we can make sure the strong community spirit at Le Page continues to thrive in 2027 and beyond.
