Thank you to everyone who participated with enthusiasm, making our fun run such a wonderful success once again. The smiles and laughter make this event very fulfilling, however the incredible fundraising effort makes is an incredibly valuable event for our school.
The whole school raised an incredible $16,860! That is a truly outstanding result.
Prizes are currently being finalised and once they arrive will be distributed directly to students.
Thank you all so very much.
A very special thank you needs to go out to Prep Vernon, who had the most students create fundraising profiles, and as a class, were the highest fundraisers for our school. Their efforts were rewarded with some much enjoyed zooper doopers this week!
Well done superstars!
