🌈 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.

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.

Every donation, no matter the size, helps bring us closer to achieving this important upgrade.
