EVENTS
WHAT TO WEAR: The students are advised to wear white clothes, the colour can stain the clothes so please ensure that you are happy for your children to wear them to school.
HATS: Children are permitted to wear a hat from home and not to wear school hats for the day. Please be advised that this hat will get colour on it and may be stained.
OUTLINE OF THE DAY’S ACTIVITIES: Please be advised that the day will be filmed by the organising company of the colour run. We will ensure that the children being filmed have full consent. The run should commence from 11:00 am. The children will participate within grades through various obstacle courses, they will run through stations where parents and teachers will spray the children with the colour bottles.
STUDENTS WITH ASTHMA: If your child has asthma, please ensure that they have a puffer at school. The material used for the colour run is safe for the children and consists of cornstarch and food safe dye. If children would like to avoid the colour stations, they have the option of running around the right hand side of the stations and they will not be sprayed with the colour.
WHAT IF MY CHILD DOES NOT WANT TO PARTICIPATE: If your child does not want to participate in the colour run, they can run with the rest of the children and opt to run on the right hand side of the stations. The staff and parents on the various stations will not apply colour to the children that approach the right hand side of the stations.
PARENTS PARTICIPATING IN THE RUN: We would like to invite all parents to participate in the colour run, however a waiver form must be signed on the day.
DISMISSAL & CATCHING THE BUS HOME: The students are permitted to leave school at the conclusion of the colour run. Children may accompany their parents home after the colour run is finished (remember names are to be marked off the teachers class lists). If your child remains at school for the full day and needs to catch the bus home they must have a change of clothes, shoes and a towel packed to be able to catch the school bus home.
LUNCH: The P&F will be selling sausage sandwiches ($2.50) and drinks ($2.00).
