Students at Australian Christian College Echuca returned from the school break with a burst of colour, taking part in a high-energy colour run that combined fitness, fundraising and community spirit.

Students gathered on the oval in plain shirts before setting off on newly designed courses featuring bright powder stations and longer cross-country routes. Participants from all year levels walked or ran the course, while teachers added splashes of colour along the way.
By the end of the event, participants were covered in colour, with the fun continuing as teachers and parents joined in, running through the course themselves.
The day finished with a crowd favourite, sliming the teachers, with the top three fundraising students getting the chance to take part.
Mr Botha was slimed by Jed for first place, followed by Mrs Bruffell, slimed by Shalom, and Mrs McConnell, slimed by Caleb.
The event raised $4800 through online donations, along with an additional $460 from the sliming fundraiser.
Funds raised will go towards new playground equipment, with plans for a large climbing frame and play structure to support the school’s continued growth.
