LNPS Colour Fun Run

The LNPS Colour Fun Run is happening this Friday 23/11/2018, starting at 2pm. The weather is looking promising so at this stage we will be going ahead with the event. We are encouraging all students to be involved to promote being active, as a reward for fundraising and acknowledgement for all the hard work undertaken this year.

 

Our goal is to raise $10 000 and we are currently at $8 400. All funds raised will be put towards Loose Parts Play in Torrens and the Early Years. If you haven’t started fundraising yet, there is still time!

 

There will be two courses set out on the oval. R-2 will be on the inside of the oval with a shorter course and they will start at 2:15pm.  Years 3-7 will be on the outside of the oval with a longer course and will begin at 2pm. We encourage parents and community members to attend and cheer our students during the run.

 

Students are able to wear casual clothes on the day, and all students are asked to wear a plain white t-shirt for the run.  Glasses and goggles are also great for added eye protection in case of accidental colour splashing.

 

All measures have been taken to ensure the event is safe for students. The colour powder is made of high quality corn starch with permitted food colours. It is non-toxic, biodegradable, skin safe and environmentally friendly. The colour does mostly wash out and it is recommended that any clothing worn is washed as soon as possible to prevent staining. Wearing old clothes is encouraged. We also suggest parents bring some towels or old sheets to protect their carseats on the trip home.

 

Should you not wish your child/ren to participate, please contact their teacher.

 

We are looking forward to a super exciting afternoon filled with fun that will continue to build our sense of belonging and connection with the school.
