The oval at St Paul's Anglican Grammar School was transformed into a vibrant course of obstacles for the junior school's inaugural Colour Fun Run recently.
Students from prep to year six leapt over hay bales, raced through pool noodles, and were drenched in a rainbow of colour dust and water as they navigated the course with energy and enthusiasm.
Staff weren't left out of the fun, with six members doused in buckets of green slime even before the race began.
Year six students had the privilege of pouring the slime, though the teachers were quick to react and return the slime back to the students, much to their surprise.
The Colour Fun Run not only brought the school community together in the spirit of fun but also served as a fundraiser for new play equipment, cricket pitches, soccer goals and other resources that will benefit the students for years to come.
The event raised $28,723.
