The Gratton Annual Colour Run brings the community together.

On Saturday, 30 May, the quiet morning air was filled with excitement as hundreds of eager participants gathered at the school fields. This year’s Annual Colour Run was an absolute triumph, taking runners and walkers on a scenic 5km race.

The turnout was truly amazing! From our energetic learners and dedicated staff to parents, friends, and fitness enthusiasts from the wider community, people of all ages came together to conquer the 5km course. Starting from the school fields, the route was packed with energy, laughter, and strategically placed color stations. By the time everyone crossed the finish line back at the fields, they were transformed into a moving canvas of exploding color, bright smiles, and pure joy.

An event of this magnitude does not happen without incredible teamwork. The smooth coordination of the 5km route, the refreshments, and the vibrant color stations were made possible through the immense generosity and support of our sponsors.
