The Colour Run at Ōrewa Primary on March 22 not only brought a lot of colour and excitement – it was the school’s biggest fundraiser for the year.
PTA chair Natasha Rice says the $38,000 raised brings the school a step closer to its goal which is to turf the main courts.
There is also a long term goal of putting a permanent shade cover over the senior court. The cover will provide space for assemblies and other occasions.
“The field becomes unusable in winter so we are really limited for good outside play space.
The turf is expected to cost around $150,000 and the permanent cover is approximately $650,000.
Stanmore Bay School’s Colour Blast on Friday, March 22 brought students, teachers and families together for an event that popped with colour. Parents and caregivers ran alongside their children and entered ‘the throw zone’ to release coloured powder or powder poppers/cannons into the air at the end of the obstacle course. The course started with a big waterslide, followed by hurdles, coloured steppers, hoops and tyres, pool noodle weaving, tunnels and a rainbow sprinkler as well as a bubble zone. The school raised around $14,000. The Colour Blast was a fundraiser for new seating and playground equipment.
