Beauty Point Public School – Colour Explosion Fun Run

Ms FELICITY WILSON (North Shore)

—Speaker, I congratulate the Beauty Point Public School community for the success of their Colour Explosion School Fun Run, held last Friday, the 28th of October. The fun run is a fundraiser held by the school's P&C, raising just over $25,000, which will go towards upgrading the computer room of the Robotics & Technology Hub. For every $20 raised by the fun run, the school committed to having a coral plant planted in the Great Barrier Reef through an initiative to reduce our environmental impact. I acknowledge the hard work of P&C member Shar Allen, who coordinated the event, and the amazing parent volunteers who got to rejoice in throwing colour bombs as the kids ran past. Seeing the whole school community come together to make this event happen is so special. I am sure the kids had a blast running around and getting splattered with coloured powder whilst also learning more about sustainability and environmental conservation. Once again, I congratulate Beauty Point Public School P & C, teachers and parents and thank them for contributing to protecting and preserving our incredible environment.
