OLF Colour Fun Run
Our Explosion Colour School Fun Run will take place on Friday 1st November. This is a great fun event for our students with the added benefit of raising funds for the school and incentive prizes for our students to fundraise. The school looks forward to this event and parents are advised to read the Compass information outlining the event activities.
Parents are invited as volunteers to assist at the event or as spectators.
The event will take place in the afternoon and the agenda will be shared next week.
Please note:
Students will be covered in non-toxic, biodegradable colour powder.
Colour powder is made of high quality corn scratch and permitted food colours - it’s non toxic, environmentally friendly and skin safe.
Students are to wear an old t-shirt and closed in shoes.
Students will be given free sunglasses and a rainbow headband for the event.
Students may wear a face mask, bandana or scarf to cover their nose and mouth.
All students require consent to participate in this event.
If your child is an asthmatic and you wish them to participate in this event please advise your child’s class teacher if they are required to wear a mask and give consent for their participation in the Compass Event.
If you have any questions about the event please get in touch with the school office.
