Students on mission creating colour, fun
Each year level took on the challenge of hosting their own fundraiser, with activities that brought plenty of colour, laughter and generosity to the school grounds.
STUDENTS at St Patrick’s Primary School St Arnaud have came together in true community spirit raising funds for Mission Month through a series of exciting and creative events.
Each year level took on the challenge of hosting their own fundraiser, with activities that brought plenty of colour, laughter and generosity to the school grounds.
The Prep, Year 1 and Year 2 students kicked off the celebrations with a special Movie and Popcorn Day, transforming their classrooms into cosy cinemas. Students enjoyed their favourite films while sharing popcorn with friends – a simple but delightful way to contribute to the cause.
The Year 3 and 4 classes turned up the fun with a Crazy Hair and Crazy Sock Day, followed by a lively lunchtime disco.
The playground was full of bright colours, wild hairstyles and plenty of dance moves as students raised money and celebrated together.
Rounding out the week, the Year 5 and 6 students organised a Mini Fete and Colour Run, drawing the school community into the fun. With games, stalls, treats and a splash of colour, the event was a joyful highlight that capped off the fundraising efforts.
Teacher and wellbeing officer Jack Abbott said: “Through these events, students learned the importance of giving back and supporting others, while enjoying a week of teamwork and creativity.
“St Patrick’s staff and students are proud to have raised funds to support Mission Month, helping those in need and living out the school’s values of compassion, community and service.”
