Whangaparāoa School exploded into colour on Friday, August 30 when the school held its first ever Crazy Colour Fun Run.
Funds raised during the campaign were targeted at upgrading its outdoor facilities for the school and community.
Whangaparāoa businesses jumped in, with a wide range of sponsors supporting the event and a massive total of $92,000 was raised.
Students warmed up with Brett Fairweather of Jump Jam, and then enjoyed a run through seven colour stations with obstacles.
Each time the children progressed through an obstacle, they could add a splash of colour on their white shirts. Children could run with their buddies in the school and family members.
At the end the school community gathered on the field and threw an explosion of colour in the air, and it came drizzling down over them. It was certainly a colourful way to end a very successful event.
The school wishes to thank everyone who took up the challenge and got involved.
