Southport Special School

“This is an amazing community event at what is the biggest special school in Queensland. So, great to see everyone out about. It's a beautiful Gold Coast day and I really appreciate having this on for our school community.

This event today has been absolutely fantastic, we can have a School Fun Run that is safe for our students. It's highly inclusive, at their own pace, and you might have seen that today the courage that the students showed. Be it having a go, running an extra lap, or being in their wheelchair, walker, no matter what. They're going to have a really red-hot crack you'd say and that's really inspiring.

I love seeing all the smiles on the kids’ faces from the School Fun Run and it's a great way to support our community and raise some money for this school.

All schools should be doing this. This is a fantastic way to raise money, I’ve had local schools in my area raised tens of thousands of dollars through this program. I'd really like to thank the team from School Fun Run, because the excitement of the children when they arrived at school today and saw these massive inflatables and got to run through them, it was like they were at the Olympics for the first time or the Commonwealth Games and it just made an even better day than it would have been.

So, thank you again.”
