We are proud to announce…………

Colour Explosion Booklets and Notices were sent home this week, so check your child’s school bag.

In conjunction with the Cross Country Run, the P&F are hosting a COOUR EX LOSIO RUN4F N on Thursday 28 March. This event will be held on the school oval following the Cross Country Run. The day’s focus is on fun and fitness with the added benefit of raising funds for our school. 

How does it work? Following the Cross Country Run at school, the Colour Explosion Run will be held on the school oval. Students will run a short course and P&F Volunteers will spray the students with coloured powder. The idea is to have fun and get messy!! Students will receive a pair of sunnies to protect their eyes. The colour powder used in the event is made of high quality corn starch and permitted food colours. It’s non-toxic, biodegradable, skin safe and environmentally friendly. The ingredient listings can be obtained from the School Office. Students with asthma are advised to be careful in their decision to participate.

 What to wear? Students are required to wear a shirt in their house colours. To maximise the effect of the colour powder, we suggest wearing a light coloured top in blue (Teresa), red (Bosco), yellow (MacKillop) or green (Patrick). The coloured powder will likely wash out of your child’s clothing, however we recommend that your child wears clothing that you don’t mind being coloured – just in case! 

Why are we fundraising? The money we raise goes back into the school for the benefit of all students. The funds are used to purchase additional learning and recreational resources for the school. In previous years, the P&F has raised funds for new books, the cricket pitch and the line marking games around the school. It also allows the P&F to provide free events for students like the Twilight Sports Sausage Sizzle and Pancakes. As this is our major fundraiser for the year, we appreciate your support!
