Every year on the last day of Term 3 as a school we hold a Fun Run along the Heysen Trail into Bowmans Park, and this year on this day we planned a Crazy Colour Day to raise money to improve the school grounds including new basketball rings, more outdoor furniture and outdoor exercise equipment. Due to inclement weather on the last day of term we had to postpone the Colour Run and held it on Tuesday of Week 2.

Students and teachers dressed in white and all gathered on the school oval for a run and to get sprayed in colour powder

We had set a fundraising target as a school of $4000 and in the end we raised a total of $4,176. Congratulations to Max Hollitt who individually raised $683 and to Mr Palmer’s homegroup 8B who collectively raised $1,550.

Anyone who raised at least $10 gets to choose a prize. The more money raised, the better the prizes! Prizes have been ordered and will hopefully be here before we know it.

We would like to congratulate everyone who participated in this event, by fundraising, running in the colour run, taking photos or supporting their peers. We hope to make this an annual event at GHS, and make it bigger and better each year. (PS. Year 11‘s will get to have their own personal colour run as soon as possible, weather permitting.)
