THE COLOUR RUN IS COMING!

It’s all happening on Thursday 3 Oct, from 1.50pm on the school oval. This Colour Fun Run is all about having a blast – no fundraising this year, just pure fun to help brighten our day, celebrate the last term of the year and lift spirits amidst the rising cost of living.

Children should bring a white/light coloured shirt for the run, & an old towel to clean up (& save the car!) after!

We are also putting the call out for volunteers! We’ll need people to help set up, pack up & of course get the colour/water happening! Sign up here: https://volunteersignup.org/KBRRJ (or QR on the pic).

Note: Coloured powder safety data sheet is available at https://holicolourpowder.com.au/certificates/
