STA Colour Run 2022
Friday 25th November
Week 7, Term 4

Dear Parents and Carers,

Term 4 will see STA yet again take part in our annual Colour Run fundraiser! This will be our 3rd year of running our Colour Run and obstacle course and it is a fantastic event each year and this year I’m sure will be no different! The date for this year’s Colour Run will be Friday 25th November in Week 7, Term 4.  The Colour Run gives all families a great opportunity to support the school by raising money to improve school facilities.  Relations, friends, neighbours or work colleagues are all great sources of donations! 

Proceeds of our past Colour Runs, have been used for some major improvements to our school and all of these will be of direct benefit to your children.  This year all donations raised from our Colour Run will be used for:

  • The next stage of our shade structure on the courts – we need $15 000 for this job!

If we raise over $15 000, we will purchase:

  • Decodable home readers
  • Sports equipment for break times.

The Route
The route of our Obstacle Course and Colour Run will be around our school oval. We have again hired an obstacle course for the day and all children will be able to run the course and have coloured powder and water squirted on them by the teachers at set points along the course. Any students who do not wish to have powder on themselves or have asthma, will be able to run the course first.

We will be encouraging the children here at school with incentive prizes for raising money.  These will include highest fundraisers in ELC & Kinder, Year 1 & Year 2, Year 3 & Year 4, Year 5 & Year 6. There will also be a prize for the student who raises the most money overall, the family who raises the most money and the class who raises the most money. So, there are lots of reasons to get collecting and support our wonderful school!

The more money we raise, the better for our school.  We are not asking for children to wander around the streets unsupervised or to talk to strangers, but asking family members, relatives, friends, friendly neighbours, etc are all good ways to reach our goal of $15,000 plus!!

Donation Pledge Card
Donation pledge cards have gone home with your children this week.  This card is used to record all donations. Spare cards are available from the Front Office.  We would like the money to be returned before the Colour Run as this allows us to tally final amounts and to present prizes at school as close to the Colour Run date as possible.

Thank you for your support
