Footy Colours Day

What is Footy Colours Day?

Footy Colours Day is an exciting whole school annual event. Students dress up in their favourite AFL football team colours and we celebrate all the teams with a parade and team music in the stadium. If your child follows a soccer or other sporting team instead of the AFL, they are welcome to wear that sporting team’s colours on the day. 

Parents/guardians are welcome to attend the parade at 11.30am in the gymnasium in the Stadium (wear your colours too!). 

Is this a fundraising event?

Yes. This is a very important event on our fundraising calendar. We raise money for a charity called ‘Fight Cancer Foundation: Footy Colours Day’. This charity helps support kids with cancer. All students are asked to bring in a gold coin which will be collected on the day. 

If all students bring in a $2 coin, we will raise over $1000! We would however, love to raise as much as we can for this important charity and welcome all donations.

When is Footy Colours Day?

This event takes place on Thursday 15 September (the last Thursday of this term).

What else is happening on the day?

In conjunction with this event, there is a Hotdog Lunch hosted by the PFC. Order and payment of hotdogs will be online prior to the day. Ordering information for the hotdogs will be sent out to all families via Compass soon.

Good luck to all teams, but … Go PIES!
