Greenfields Primary shows its true colours to raise funds

The run, organised by the school’s faculty, was attended by parents and is aimed at raising funds for a ski trip next year.

Teacher Karen Schilling said the idea was one both students and parents were behind.

“It’s just a fun little event that the kids can really get into, and it gives them something to aim for,” she said.

“It’s something they can all get behind – the kids and their families – as a school. It’s good because it gets them motivated.”

School colour run events are actually growing in popularity around the country, with a wide range of incentives, prizes and outcomes for students.
