Students, teachers and parents recently enjoyed the colour-infused day as they raised money for the school last Friday.
Principal Andrew Brown said the pupils were excited on the countdown to the event, and thoroughly enjoyed the day.
“The Colour Run was a fantastic event to help raise money for our school and a great show of community spirit,” he said.
The event was organised by the school parent and community group and the staff to help raise funds for school improvements.
The school is currently being upgraded with 19 new classrooms, new hall, canteen, administration building and amenities.
The parent and community group hope to replace aging playground equipment and revamp outside playground spaces.
