They collaborated to organise and deliver a colour run for the students of Bulahdelah Central School.
They chose a colour run because people come in different shapes, sizes, backgrounds and colours and each and every individual should be celebrated.
Many a weekend was spent making the colours, which involved mixing flour, water and food colouring followed by a lengthy drying and crushing process.
The colour run was held on the school oval and involved a sausage sizzle, photo sessions and an obstacle course.
Together the students raised $114.66 which will be donated to the Black Dog Institute to assist with youth mental health.
School visit to Bulahdelah Show
Students and teaches attended the Bulahdelah Show and enjoyed connecting with the community.
The students and teachers arrived shortly after 9:00am, and found themselves helping out at the Australian Stock Horse, led and ridden events.
Students were educated on the different areas of judging, including temperament, physique of horse and rider, ages, height, progeny and action.
Jackson Gibbs, Tyson Haenschke and Harrison Hughes enjoyed sorting, selecting and handing out the ribbons for the judge.
The boys quickly became adept at understanding when the judge was ready for the ribbons to be brought forward. The boys’ etiquette around the horses and riders was impeccable.
The judge only indicated subtly when the boys needed to come forward with the ribbons and prizes, and they did not skip a beat.
What a wholesome opportunity to connect and develop positively with the support of our wonderful community.
