Colour Splash Fun Run
🌈 Wishart Colour Splash Fun Run 2026
Our 2026 Colour Splash Fun Run will be held on Thursday, 17 September 2026.
This year, we're excited to bring you a new-look, DIY Colour Splash Fun Run, designed to maximise the funds raised for our school while delivering all the colour, fun and excitement students love.
By managing the event ourselves and using our new fundraising platform, we can reduce costs and ensure more of the money raised stays right here at Wishart State School, supporting projects that directly benefit our students.
Over the last three years, our school community has raised more than $100,000, and we're hoping 2026 will be our biggest year yet!
While fundraising is important, the Colour Splash Fun Run is also one of the most anticipated events on the school calendar, creating lasting memories and plenty of colourful fun for our students.
💧 What Are We Fundraising For?
Our goal is to raise funds to install new filtered and refrigerated water bubblers for our students.
These new bubblers will provide easy access to fresh, chilled drinking water throughout the school day, helping students stay hydrated, healthy and ready to learn.
Fundraising Goal: $20,000
Every donation, no matter the size, helps bring us closer to achieving this important upgrade.

🌈 Is the Colour Powder Safe?
Yes. The non-toxic colour powder is made from high-quality corn starch and permitted food colouring, making it safe for skin and eyes. Students with asthma are encouraged to carefully consider their participation and families should make the decision that best suits their child's needs. All students will be provided with sunglasses and a headband to help protect their eyes during the event.
can I volunteer to help on the day?
All volunteers are welcome to help with our Colour Explosion School Fun Run! There are a range of jobs from helping on obstacles, to cooking the BBQ. Time slots are 1 hour long. You can choose to volunteer at a time that your child is participating, or you can watch from the side line while they have their turn, and then volunteer during another Grade’s timeslot, your choice!!
We just ask that all volunteers have first completed their Mandatory Training as per the Department of Education Requirements
Volunteering is a great way to help support the school and make this an incredibly successful and fun day for the whole Wishart State School Community!
Please note: Volunteers are required to follow health and safety requirements. We kindly ask that anyone who volunteers wear closed in shoes at fundraising events. Thongs/open-toed shoes are not acceptable footwear.
