Dear Parents and Carers
To celebrate the Year 12’s Final Activities Day on Wednesday 25 September, all students will be participating in a Whole School Colour Run which will be held at PLC Armidale.
The Colour Run is a fundraising event and will be held in support of Anya's Wish Foundation as a mark of respect for Anya Zuber and her family. Anya graduated in the class of 2019 and unfortunately passed away in 2020 from an aggressive and persistent form of Osteosarcoma. Much has been done in the way of remembering Anya, including her mother, along with health professionals, developing Anya's Wish and the 19 for 19 challenge to conduct research and raise funds to help improve the outcomes for children diagnosed with osteosarcoma. Parents may also like to make an online donation to this worthwhile cause - https://www.ccia.org.au/event/in-memory-of-anya/home
The Colour Run is a 1.9km event with a fun and colourful twist. It is about participation and ends with the students being covered in coloured powder by the time they reach the finish line. The powder used is non-toxic, biodegradable, environmentally friendly and skin safe.
Prior to the Colour Run there will be a barbecue lunch hosted by the Student Representative Council, with $5 charged to each student's account.
The Colour Run will commence after lunch at approximately 2:15pm on the Senior School Oval.
Year groups will start the Colour Run at 3-5 minute intervals. Each Junior School Year group will be paired with a Senior School Year group.
All students are to wear their Guild Sports Uniform with the PLC Armidale tracksuit pants or green PE shorts to school. Students are asked to bring a white or light-coloured shirt to wear for the run. Students will change back into their Guild shirt to travel home.
Sunglasses may be worn during the Colour Run.
If students are asthmatic, they can choose to not participate, or to run with their puffer.
At the end of the Colour Run students must stay at school until after the conclusion at 3:30pm.
