The Course 

Students will start on the asphalt area. 

THE FIRST LAP WILL BE A WALKING LAP.

Students will start in their grade groups starting with Year 5 then Year 4, Year 3, Year 2, Year 1, and then Foundation students will start with year 6  buddies. Please note that not all buddies will be in attendance due to sporting commitments. 

Students will move down to the oval via the quiet area. They will look for their teachers who will be standing next to their year level flags. 

The teachers will throw color onto the T shirts. 

The students will move through the course and out the Cheltenham Rd gate onto Bayview Cres. 

Parents will be course marshals on Bayview Cres. Students will enter the gate on the corner of Bayview crescent near the vegie patches. and continue back to their teachers for some more colour on the oval. 

Camp Australia 

Students attending after school care can compete in the Running Color event. Sarah is collecting a list of students who would like to complete the walk but who will be at Camp Australia after school. 

Teachers will  collect students and return them to Camp Australia after the event at 5pm. You need to make sure that Sarah has parent  permission to attend the event. 

Parent Helpers 

We are looking for parent helpers to help marshall students on the course. Please see Jayne Timms who will issue with a flouro vest and instructions. 

We would also like some parents to help with the pack up at the conclusion of the night.
