FUN RUN INFORMATION:

The Fun Run is almost here! It’s going to be a day of colour, obstacles, water, and slime. Here is how you can help your child prepare for Tuesday, March 24th.

  • Dress Code: Students can wear their own clothes, and/or togs. (They will get wet!)

  • NEW Colour powder: We are excited to potentially introduce Colour Powder this year! Participation is optional; there will be two separate lanes for students who prefer not to use the colour. Please ensure students wear clothes they don't mind getting stained if they choose to participate in the colour lane.

  • Footwear: Students can run barefoot. If they wear shoes, they must remove them before the final obstacle (the water slide).

  • Junior School (Y0-3): Please encourage students to arrive at school already dressed to save time.

  • Pack in the School Bag:

    • A sun hat 

    • Towel (for after water play)

    • A full change of clothes (for after the run).

    • A water bottle

Event Timing & Spectators
