Upcoming Events

Colours for Compassion Fun Day - 14 June 2022 from 12.30pm

Our Secondary Captains and Prefects are hosting the 'Colours for Compassion' Fun Day on 14 June 2022, from lunch-time until the end of the school day. As part of this event, Years 5-12 can choose to participate in the 'Colours for Compassion Fun Run'. Race towards the finish line through bright blasts of colour. Parents/carers and staff are welcome to participate also. 

If you or your child would prefer, you can choose to just be a spectator and participate in some of the other activities and games which will also be happening during the afternoon. 

There will also be the opportunity for K-12 to pre-purchase a sausage sizzle and/or drink as well as participate in the colourful Mufti-day.

There are discount packages available for multiple Secondary students participating in the run. 

Please note: If your child participates in the run, they will be required to bring a change of clothes and will not be allowed to travel home on the bus. They will need to be picked up (we recommend bringing a towel to protect your car seats).

All money raised will go to Compassion Australia, including a portion to help support our school's own Compassion Sponsor children Joshua and Yunaysi in Nicaragua.

Tickets must be ordered online by Thursday 9 June, including mufti-day, fun run participation, spectator only and BBQ lunch. Additional donations to Compassion can also be made through the same website.
