Colour Run 2026

Colour Run

Dear Parents and Caregivers,

As you know, Forest Crescent Primary School is again holding a fun run for the students as our major fundraiser this year.

This event will take place on Friday, March 20th, starting at 1:10 p.m. Parents are welcome to attend and watch.

• White shirt = water and colour will be sprayed
• Black shirt = NO colour/water purposefully sprayed on child
• Please speak with your teacher if you do not want your child to participate.

Any clothes/shoes students wear for the run will be wet/coloured -send a towel/spare clothes as needed for your child. Little ones will be in their wet clothes till the bell, so parents can assist if they wish to have them changed.

Each student will also receive a pair of sunglasses.

Students will be covered in non-toxic, biodegradable colour powder

We look forward to seeing the bright and colourful students on the day of our Colour Fun Run!

Changed lunch with all Pre-primary to Year 6 students participating at different times in the afternoon.
