Colour Run Details for Junior School

Friday 26 June 2026

Burwood Park
All students from Kindergarten to Year 12

(The majority of Junior School students will have completed their run by 2pm). Students will eat lunch prior to the event.

Pre Kindergarten
Pre-Kindergarten students are welcome to attend, if accompanied by a parent.

Please send an email to jsreception@mlcsyd.nsw.edu.au if you would like your daughter to participate by 9am Wednesday 24 June 2026.

5 Day Program: You will need to sign your daughter out at Reception at 12.50pm and accompany her to Burwood Park.

3 Day Program: Proceed with your daughter directly to Burwood Park at 12.50pm.

An announcement will be made when Pre-Kindergarten students will participate.

Pre-Kindergarten students who do not attend will remain at school and continue with their normal program until the end of the school day.

Usual dismissal arrangements will take place at 2.40pm.

Parent Attendance
Parents, carers and others are most welcome to attend. There will be a designated area for parents to watch the Colour Run.

Registration
It’s not too late, your daughter can create an online profile at myprofilepage.com.au and share the unique link for sponsorship.

What to Wear
Kindergarten to Year 6 (and Pre-K if participating) students may come to school wearing:

  • A white t-shirt
  • Pants or shorts that can be coloured
  • Old sneakers
  • Casual hat (these items will get some colour on them)

Pre-order headbands and sunglasses HERE

Food

  • We ask that Pre-Kindergarten to Year 5 parents do not purchase food for their daughter or any other students from the stalls on the day.
  • The designated food stalls on the day are for Year 6 to Year 12 students only.

Pre-purchase treat bags HERE

Dismissal
Students will return to school at the conclusion of the Colour Run for dismissal and normal after-school activities or pick-up arrangements. Students cannot be dismissed from Burwood Park.

Transport
Students catching School buses must change into PE uniform before boarding the bus.

We recommend students catching public transport change back into PE uniform.

Car Pick Up
You might consider providing your daughter with a towel to sit on if your vehicle has cloth seats.

Co-curricular
If your daughter has a co-curricular activity on Friday afternoon, please pack the following items for her to bring in her bag:

  • Gymnastics – co-curricular uniform
  • Dance – co-curricular uniform
  • Speech and Drama – a clean top
  • Taiko – a clean top
  • Physio Play may remain in their clothes

If your daughter needs to change, please pack a plastic bag for her to put her coloured top into.

Washing clothes
It’s nothing a tumble through the washing machine won’t take care of! Coloured powder washes out of most clothing but you may want to leave your favourite running clothes or evening dress at home. Dust off or blow off as much powder as possible before washing.

Coloured Powder
The coloured powder is made of high-quality corn starch and is dyed with food colours. It’s non-toxic, biodegradable, skin-safe and environmentally friendly. It’s also gluten-free and coeliac-safe. A material safety data sheet that contains a toxicological risk assessment and ingredient listings can be obtained from us upon request. If you have any concerns at all about safety, we suggest that students wear swimming goggles or sunglasses as eye protection and/or bandanas or scarves around their noses and mouths.

Thank you for your support of this very worthy cause.
