To celebrate the Year 12’s Final Activities Day on Wednesday 25 September, all students participated in a Whole School Colour Run on campus at PLC Armidale. 

The Colour Run is a fundraising event in support of Anya's Wish Foundation and as a mark of respect for Anya Zuber and her family. This year more than $1200 was raised.

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 to remember 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. 

You can 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 was a barbecue lunch hosted by the Student Representative Council, with $5 charged to each student's account.

Each Junior School Year group was paired with a Senior School Year group and Year groups started the Colour Run at 3-5 minute intervals.
