WHAT TO WEAR

  • A white t-shirt or light coloured clothing is best to show up the colour. Please wear old clothes.
  • We will do our best to throw the powder at the torso, however wind and other factors can cause the powder to protrude on the face. You may wish to bring your own eye protection such as sunglasses or goggles.

AFTER THE RUN

  • We will gather as a community on the quadrangle. There will be music and food to enjoy whilst you meet new friends and catch up with each other.
  • The food stalls this year include pizza, baked potatoes, fairy floss, slushies, cold drinks and icy poles. PLEASE PRE ORDER so you don’t miss out.
  • To assist with catering this year, we ask that everyone preorders food by Monday 17th March via CDF Pay. Head to the cashier on the night to collect your food, beverage and activity tokens.
  • Grade 6 students are also hosting stalls and there will be great activities for the kids to participate in.
  • Payment for the Grade 6 stall items will be via “activity tokens” that can be pre purchased via CDF pay or on the night. EFTPOS will be available.

 

WHAT TO BRING

  • Picnic rugs/chairs etc for your family.
  • As the event is on school grounds with children present, it is an alcohol free event.
  • EFTPOS will be available on the night for additional purchases.
