ON THE DAY OF OUR COLOUR EXPLOSION SCHOOL RUN 4 FUN 

Friday 22nd November will be a free-dress day for all students taking part in the colour run that afternoon. You do not need to fundraise to take part and the event is open to all students from Kindy to Year 10. Children are to come to school appropriately dressed in a white t-shirt (no singlets allowed), and shorts and shoes which can be washed, as clothing may stain. Children have the option of removing their shoes for the obstacle course. The event will be staggered per year group and timing is yet to be confirmed by the College. Each year group will complete an obstacle course while being sprayed with coloured powder by our volunteers and also run through foam!

 

The College sent out an opt-out form last week. It is also available via the Notices section of the College app. Only complete this form if your child is NOT taking part in the Colour Explosion Run 4 Fun on 22 November. 

 

Due to safety, non-school age children will not be permitted on the oval during the event and during set up as this event is for Salvado Catholic College students only.  Parents who wish to watch, can do so from Mead Street carpark. Gates will not be opened until 2.45pm as usual.

Call for Volunteers

We are looking for volunteers for the following upcoming events:

The Friends of Salvado Committee is an integral part of our College Community, and is crucial to the successful execution of fundraising and charity work, and events organised for our students. 

FoS works closely with our College Leadership Team, Administration & Finance Teams as well as our Teachers. Your involvement with the College will positively benefit the College community as a whole, and your children! Research has shown that children whose parents volunteer at school, have better grades, perform better and are generally more successful in school.
