Colour Run Fundraiser
What a colorful day we had in week one for our Colour Run! It was wonderful to see so many of our NPS families spectating on the day.
Incentive prizes have been finalised, delivered, and distributed to all students that raised funds for this event.
We are happy to announce that we raised a total amount of $5,460. A great result!
On the day our highest student fundraiser was Nate M from JLP, who got the esteemed honour of sliming Mr. Barclay!
At the conclusion of the fundraising window, we had a new highest fundraiser in Ivy L from FAS. Congratulations Ivy - you will receive an extra special prize from Australian Fundraising, our Colour Run partner.
Proceeds from this fundraiser will be directed to our 2023 Fundraising initiative of further extending and resourcing our school-wide Literacy Programs.
