“Colour Run on The Green” – Final Reminder 

As per previous Blog posts, please note that we will be holding a final Assembly at approximately 10:30am in the Primary Forum tomorrow (Wednesday 6 December) followed by a Fun Colour Run on The Green at approximately 11:00am! All parents are welcome to attend!

Students will be dismissed from school at 12pm. Lots of fun to end our 2023 academic year! We suggest families bring a few spare garbage bags to cover their car seats as students will no doubt be a little messy after their run!

Below is some important information to note for this event: 

1. What do students need to wear?

The optimal effect of a Colour Run occurs when participants wear a plain, white t-shirt.  Old clothes that you will not mind getting slightly stained (see below regarding possible staining). We also recommend for students to wear goggles.

2. Do all students need to run?

The Colour Run will not be compulsory. However, all students are encouraged to participate and enjoy the celebration. 

3. How is the colour administered?

A running course on The Green will be set up. Designated staff will be stationed along the course to gently dispense colour powder along the way. All colour powder will be aimed between shoulder & hip level.

This year, we would like to extend an invitation to all parents to join the fun and bring along a water pistol to fill up from one of the filling stations around The Green! Staff and High School students will already be there with water pistols to “gently splash” students, but the more the merrier!

4. What is the colour made from? Does it stain?

The coloured powder we are using is made from 99% corn-starch and natural food grade dyes. We’ve been told it doesn’t stain, but you never know… We feel it would be best to wear old sneakers or opt to run with bare feet. Please note that we do not take any responsibility for costs associated with the removal of colour. 

5. Will the Colour ruin clothes or running shoes?

The colour does wash out after the event. As with anything dirty, the sooner you wash it, the better. We suggest wearing items that you wouldn’t mind getting colourful. Please note that we do not take any responsibility for costs associated with the removal of colour.

We look forward to celebrating the end of another successful academic year with our community and look forward to seeing you there tomorrow, Wednesday 6 December!

Many thanks,

Madame Pilote

Dear Families,

Wow! Where have we found ourselves again! Interesting times in an interesting world!

We just wanted to touch base with you to reassure you that there is no reason for worry or fear about your child’s learning journey at this point in the year and to inform you that there will be more formal communication from the School regarding the week ahead and the plans for any ongoing face-to-face disruption. Your child is at the forefront of our thinking and we ask that you convey to them our love and thoughts and reassure them that we will look after them. Please also inform your child that their teacher is preparing something for them which will be posted on their Year Level Blog. We would appreciate if you could look at it with them later today or first thing tomorrow morning.

Please feel free to email us if you have any questions but, as mentioned, a formal communication will be emailed to you later today.

Our thoughts, prayers and best wishes are with you and let’s hope that it will only be for this week.

Yours in Service,

Mr Roberts and Madame Pilote
