There were big grins and lots of laughter at Our Lady of the Nativity Primary at Lawson on May 24 as students took part in their first fundraising colour run.
Held on the school oval, the 100 students at the school were running through obstacle courses, balancing on beams, blowing bubbles and covering themselves in as much coloured powder and paint as they possibly could.
Principal Lisa Samojlowicz said students and staff had raised $9677 in four weeks, to go towards improvements in the playground, which included interactive play equipment, as well as technology for the students.
She said it was a fun day for everyone. “There were lots of smiling faces, lots of laughing, lots of dancing. We had the music on and ice-blocks when they finished,” Mrs Samojlowicz said.
Colour runs, which have become hugely popular around the world in recent years, are thought to have started in the US in 2011 by Utah resident Travis Snyder.

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.
