A colour run was the final fundraising event in Takapuna Primary School’s campaign for new water fountains, bringing the school to its fundraising goal of $20,000.
The colour run included an obstacle course with a splattering of paint, as students took turns by year group throughout the day.
The school’s old water fountains needed upgrading, and the fundraiser was organised by Takapuna Primary’s School Community Group.
Classes who raised the most money were in to win spot prizes, such as a school pool party or lunch with Principal Devika Tagg.
