St Augustine's Colour Run - Tuesday 29th November - Gold coin donation

Our College is hosting a Colour Run next Tuesday, 29th November, during Periods 5 and 6.

 

The purpose of the Colour Run is to celebrate diversity in our school community and celebrate all people. At St Augustine's the dignity of each person is important. We welcome cultural diversity, disability, gender equality, Koorie and LGBTQI inclusion and the engagement of all people no matter their background, gender or ability.

 

The colour powder used in the event is non-toxic, biodegradable and environmentally friendly consisting of 98% cornstarch and 2% food colouring.

 

Cost: A gold coin donation for the Brigidine Asylum Seeker Project will be collected by TAs.

 

Lunch: A BBQ Lunch will be provided for all students commencing at 12.54pm.

 

What to wear: Students are encouraged to wear sunsmart white or light coloured 'old clothing' that will make the colours vibrant to school on this day. Students may choose to wear eye protection such as sunglasses or goggles for the Colour Run. Students need to bring a towel and plastic bag to place their dirty clothing in and a change of clothes to change into before they go home. They are not expected to wear their College uniform on this day.

 

Students must wear a hat in order to participate. The College hat or another sunsmart hat may be worn.

 

Due to the large number of students participating, we will have a staggered start from 2pm. Students will marshal on the undercover court. Parents and caregivers are welcome to attend and participate in the Colour Run if they wish!

 

Foundation - Year 6 Colour Run commences at approx 2pm

 

Year 7-11 Colour Run commences at approx 2.30pm

 

Please remember to give consent for your child to participate via Operoo and if you would like to volunteer to help out, please contact Nicole Elliott. 

Don't forget to return your books to the Library

We know where Wally is, but where are your library books?
