Get ready to run, walk, laugh and get covered in colour!

The Colour Run & Obstacle Course will be a whole-school celebration of ELTHAM College Service Learning incitive, bringing students together for an afternoon of fun, activity and community connection.

Students will begin the afternoon together with a short Service Learning introduction , before moving into their School groups and participating in two main activity experiences: the Colour Run & Obstacle Course and the combined BBQ & Giant Games area.

Colour Run & Obstacle Course

Students will have a 30-minute active Colour Run and Obstacle Course period. There will be no traditional finish line or requirement to complete a set number of laps. Students can move around the course at their own pace and complete as many laps as they like during the 30 minutes.

Students can walk, run or take their time through the course, making the experience accessible and enjoyable for everyone.

More than just a fun event, the Colour Run marks the launch of our new House Service Learning fundraising initiative. Every ticket purchased helps support your House's chosen charity, with funds making a real difference to communities in need.
