Fun Run Only 5 Weeks To Go!
The school Fun Run promotes healthy and active lifestyles while helping us raise funds! It is all about participation, with students treated to a great day as a reward for their fundraising efforts. Family support is key to our fundraising success and we encourage everyone to get involved. Please remember to return your Registration form by Friday 1 November to the Accounts office.
How Does My Child Fundraise?
Firstly go to www.schoolfundraising.com.au create a student profile page. Everything to do with your fundraising revolves around this page. Once you have completed this, read through your Sponsorship Form, which has instructions on how to raise money and order prizes.
Students who raise just $10 will receive a reward for their effort. The more they raise, the better their reward – do not forget to check these out in the sponsorship form! Students should not be door knocking without adult supervision, and we encourage you to reiterate this at home. The best people to ask for sponsorship are people you know (e.g. friends, family, work colleagues and neighbours).
Online Fundraising
The easiest way to help your child raise money is through online fundraising, where students raise an average of $120. On top of raising more money, it is also safer and easier than door knocking and you do not have to worry about handling money!
To start fundraising online, go to your student profile page and share your online fundraising link.
Getting Involved
Not only can you support the school and students with your sponsorship, but you can join in on the fun! We would love to welcome parents and family members to attend. There will be a FREE Fun Zone Activities area which will be run by Kelly Sports. For a gold coin donation, you can have your face painted and a jump on the jumping castle. You can purchase food and drinks on the day. There will be a coffee van, an ice-cream van and a sausage sizzle
Also, if you would like to volunteer to help on the day, please email pandf@aitkencollege.edu.au. We cannot wait to see you at this fun event!
Ordering Prizes
The fastest and easiest way to claim your prize is online at www.schoolfundraising.com.au.
- If you are fundraising online, you simply login into your profile page and click on the ‘Claim your prizes’ link and follow the prompts.
- If you are fundraising manually, you will need to set up a profile page online and follow the prompts.
- Complete the form on the back page of the sponsorship booklet. Return this form and the money raised in a clearly marked envelope with your child’s name and class to the Accounts office by NO LATER THAN Friday 8 November 2019.
We ask that you claim your prizes before the fun run event, as this will ensure that prizes will arrive in a timely manner. All prizes will be delivered to the school for collection in December 2019. Collection date and time for prizes will be confirmed by email, when all prizes have been delivered to the school.
Thank you, good luck and happy fundraising!

Fairview students, I hope you have your dance shoes ready! The Fairview Dance Party is not far away. For those new to the school, or unfamiliar with this event on Friday 15 November, from 6.00pm - 7.30pm the Parents and Friends Association hold a dance party for Fairview students only. This is held in Common Room 1 and is supervised by staff and the Committee. It is a fabulous evening where the kids get to hang out with their friends and dance to some really great music played by our resident DJ. More information to follow.
