HALLOWEEN did not go unnoticed at Willowmavin Primary School last Friday at the spooky school fun run that raised $7000 for outdoor equipment.
It is one of the smallest schools in Mitchell Shire and its students, all 57 of them embraced the outdoor activity facilitated by their teachers.
The school fun run was established in 1987 to help raise funds for projects and purchases and it has taken the pressure off.
It was a fun afternoon activity for everyone, including families who watched on with excitement as the children ran laps around the main oval obstacle course, some trying, some not, to dodge their teachers’ efforts to colour bomb them with a non-toxic coloured powder.
Coordinator, Nicole Barri and her brilliant helpers set up a scary tunnel complete with plastic spiders and web for the children to crawl through and they also created a tent using their soccer goals—a similar experience to the classic carnival ghost train ride with a ghost teacher inside to say…Boo!
A highlight included five student trail blazers who were presented with a superhero cape since they had raised the most money.
The funds raised will go towards outdoor equipment for the students to use during lunch and recess.
Mrs Barri congratulated the students for contributing to the success of its school— small but with a big heart, and its hats off to its teachers on World Teachers Day for going the extra mile to deliver a memorable experience for its students and community.
