Colourful fundraiser

A sea of Waihī College students became splattered in bright colours on December 6 for the school’s Colour Run fundraiser. The event, which was held on the school field, raised $5000 toward the new school playground. The afternoon kicked off with students getting splashed with water, crawling under commando nets, running through fields, firing basketballs in shooting challenges and sliding down the waterslide, all while getting bombarded by clouds of colour. Reporter DAVIDDA HIKATANGATA was there to snap the vibrant hues of colourful chaos.
