Gainsborough State School

“Our School Fun Run was absolutely amazing, the students were on fire today. They had the best time and a day like this at school doesn't happen often, there are some things throughout the year that have been pretty fun, but this by far has been the most amazing day all year.

It’s really simple, it’s connection. If we’re not connected with our kids they don’t work with us and they don’t learn of us. It’s crucial our teachers are connected, our teacher aides are connected and its important that everyone is connected. You’ll notice today we had our ground staff, our cleaners, teacher aides, school executives, we had everyone down here… parents, you name it.

The fact that we wanted parents to run with the kids too, it’s community. It’s connection. It’s what we do, and the kids have fun. That’s what we did today. The upside is that we also raised some money and that goes back into our kids.

Our fundraising was amazing. We didn't just meet our goal, we absolutely smashed it which was fantastic. The planning was fantastic, the guys from the School Fun Run helped us out which was amazing.

This has been our most profitable fundraiser all year.

We would 100% have another Fun Run and we can’t wait to organise next year and we’d would really really recommend the School Fun Run to other schools. It was amazing. Thanks guys!

I would definitely choose School Fun Run again as an annual fundraiser. I have used them before, this will be my fourth across a variety of schools. Easy fundraiser. A fundraiser that achieves the goals. Great day for the kids, great day for the staff. Terrific day for the parents and our community. I would recommend it to any other school. I wouldn’t have done it four times if I wouldn’t recommend it.”
