MLC School Colour Run

The MLC School Colour Run; is a joyous community event we hold annually to raise much needed funds for the MLC School Sony Foundation Holiday Camp, a camp for children with additional needs.

The children (Campers) who attend the MLC School Sony Foundation Camp in December 2026 will be treated to inclusive time away from home full of thrilling and exciting adventures designed to help them grow in independence and confidence. They will be cared for in boarding-style accommodation at Land’s Edge, located at the picturesque Chowder Bay. Campers get to meet other children and make special connections with their Year 11 student companions who care for them for the 4-day, 3-night residential experience.

The flexible camp program allows campers to participate in activities where people understand and cater for their needs. Camp activities include swimming and rafting at the beach, an excursion to a water park, a reptile show, a fancy-dress disco, art and crafts and so much more. In addition to the benefits for the children attending the camp, there is a dual purpose of the program, providing much needed respite for the parents and siblings of these children, allowing them precious time to attend to their own needs. Our Year 11 volunteers who run the camp, supported by MLC School’s team of dedicated, experienced teaching and medical staff, will quickly learn about the challenges and demands involved in caring for a child with additional needs in a life-changing experience for all involved.
