The Amazing Race

🌟 ¡The Amazing Race llega a Newlands Primary! 🌟 

Dear Newlands families, 

The last day of Term 3 is just around the corner! And before we all dive into the school holidays (cue the collective parent sigh 😅), the kids will get the chance to take part in the most epic competition of the year. 

TAs part of the World's Greatest Shave event the PFA is excited to launch the very first Amazing Race at Newlands Primary School – an afternoon packed with fun challenges, teamwork, and a little bit of healthy competition around the school grounds. 

📍 Where: Newlands Primary School  

📅 When: Friday 19 September  from 2.30

🎁 Prizes: You bet – there’ll be a surprise for the winning team! 

It’s the perfect way for our kids to finish the term: running, laughing, solving clues, and maybe even discovering a hidden talent for racing (or at least for finding snacks along the way 😉). 

📖 Before you race off, make sure to check the rules below
