Staff and students took part in their inaugural colour run on Thursday, September 5 in a bid to raise funds for school activities, such as camps and excursions.
The day kicked off with a variety of craft activity before a quick tour of the course.
In need of a sugar hit, students were treated to cupcakes and slushies before their big run.
Within minutes, their white shirts were covered in all the colours of the rainbow.
Students from the Little Learners Transition program and the nearby Flying Fox Mobile Preschool also took part in the fun.
They capped off the day with a 'colour burst' in the playground.
Teacher Cathy Dun said the school received lots of community support heading into the day.
Students received sponsorship from family and friends while company Novocastrian Electrical donated the shirts.
The run will act as the school's major annual fundraiser going forward.
