When the suggestion was made by parents to have a Colour Run fundraising event at Our Lady of the Nativity, Lawson, Principal Lisa Samojlowicz said “yes, let’s do it!”
As a result, parents and teachers worked together so the school could hold its first Colour Run Fun Day and as a result managed to raise up to $10,000 for school equipment and resources.
Parents & Friends president Lidia De Vroome said she was very happy to see all the teachers and students embrace the day.
The obstacle course, which was set up by Mrs Samojlowicz, included loads of fun activities like the parachute, rainbow balancing beams, hula hoops, bean bag in a bucket challenge intertwined with colour stations manned by volunteer parents who sprayed colour onto the students as they made their way through the course.
At the end students were greeted with a burst of bubbles before being handed an ice block as a reward for a job well done!
To test out the obstacle course first, the teachers had to give it a run through and needless to say they all ended up with very colourful outfits in the end.
“Everyone had fun. There was so much colour everywhere. I am not sure our parent volunteers were aware they were going to get coloured too!," Mrs Samojlowicz said.
"It has been fantastic and we managed to raise the money within a month of letting the school community know we were having this event.’’

This week we launched The Gumnut Gardening Club. These children have volunteered their time to work in our garden during their lunch break. We are hoping to have gardening goals that we will achieve each week. These goals will eventually lead to a beautiful functioning garden that will look gorgeous and also produce things that we can use and eat. This week’s goal was to learn about our worm farms. We fed our little worm friends for the holidays and put them to bed. We also did a lot of cleaning up and created an enormous pile of fern fronds so our garden beds look tidy.![525045016300196_932203772250983-1]()

OLN acknowledged Harmony Day by students wearing ORANGE. They also made crosses for Good Friday. Harmony Day is about inclusiveness, respect and belonging for all Australians. It is a day to celebrate all the different cultures that are a part of Australia. Orange signifies the freedom of ideas and the encouragement of mutual respect.
