Berwick Chase Primary School held its Colour Run for the second year, with 919 students participating and raising a total of $20,000 for the school.
The schools Katie Atkin said the students’ commitment to the Fun Run was second to none.
“Our students are so excited about the money they’ve helped raise for school resources, and they thoroughly enjoyed participating alongside their peers as they cheered each other on,” she said.
“Our Colour Run course consisted of lots of different obstacles including a hay bale mountain, crawling under an army net, jumping over tyres, being targeted by water pistols and of course navigating the colour powder stations.
“The schools fundraising group also supported the event by turning up with giant inflatable tunnels that the children ran under.”
School Fun Run program director Brendan Hopp said the organisation took great pride in helping schools improve student wellbeing and their learning environment.
“School Fun Run has been supporting schools for more than 30 years,” Mr Hopp said.
“As one of the few school fundraisers in Australia that is purely health based, we love seeing the kids take part as they work on building active and healthy lifestyles.”
