Parents and Friends News
On behalf of The P&F and our School Community I would like to thank the wonderful parents and teachers who made this year’s Colour Explosion the best yet! Both kids and parents had a wonderful time running around the course being covered in colour.
The preps were so excited for their first year of Colour Explosion, so much so that the start of their first lap they got a bit lost and had to start again!! Once they hit the course, they were soon covered in bright colours. The rest of the kids were just as excited to hit the track. I’m not sure who had more fun the parents and teachers immersing the kids in colour, or the kids being covered in colour!
A big thank you to Lauren Wilson who headed up the committee of parents to organise this year’s Colour Explosion. Thank you also to the rest of the amazing Colour Explosion Committee who have put in so much time and effort to make this year’s event a success; Brooke Banbury, Daniela Trettel, Fiona Livolti, Lisa Perry, Nicole Mardell and Shehara Jegan. You guys certainly were the Colour Explosion power team!
Unfortunately, due to restrictions we were unable to hold our annual sausage sizzle this year but the opening of Kids Café for icy poles was a massive hit with our tired kids after all their laps. Hopefully next year we can bring back the BBQ.
This year we also had a lucky envelope drive which contained mystery prizes of vouchers for dinners, cafes, coffees, meat trays, movies, zoo passes, wine and chocolate. This too was a great success, and we hope to bring this back for 2023’s Colour Explosion.
A massive thank you to all our volunteers this year, we can’t thank you enough for giving up your time.
