P & F Colour Run Sponsorship Booklet

The final term of the College year has arrived but we are far from winding down!

As we start the term, I would like to officially welcome Mr Leighton Corr as the Head of Secondary (7-12). This is a new role at the College and I am confident Mr Corr will provide great leadership and direction for the students and the families in Years 7 to 12.

Recent International Tours

Nepal Service TripPenrith Anglican College Year 11 students had the privilege of partnering with Mamre Anglican School in a service trip to Nepal. This trip continues to build the College tradition of serving and supporting remote communities in Nepal. This year, the team worked for three and a half days to build a bio gas oven in the community of Thaprek. This oven will benefit 1-2 families by providing an efficient and safe fuel source for cooking. They also had the opportunity to experience a trek through the incredible natural beauty of the Annapurna Ranges.

I would like to particularly thank Mr Jon Wright and Miss Natalie Munce for leading this trip with staff from Mamre.

Japan Cultural TourFor almost 20 years, the College has benefited from a sister-school relationship with Kumamoto Marist High School in Japan. During this time, we have both hosted students and visited each other’s respective schools. The 2019 team were immersed in the Japanese culture by attending the school and participating in a home stay with families from Kumamoto school.

I would particularly like to thank Mr Phil McIntyre, Mrs Deborah Jay and Mr Timothy Pigot for leading this trip.

Uniform Change – Hats in Years 7 to 12 from 2020The College is committed to the wellbeing and safety of all members of our community. An area we have identified where some improvement is needed is sun safety for our students in Years 7 to 12. Therefore, from the beginning of 2020, all students in Years 7 to 12 will be required to wear a College cap or bucket hat during recess and lunch breaks, during outdoor lessons, or during any other outdoor activities (eg. excursions) as directed by staff.

There is no change to the expectations for students in Pre-K to Year 6. These students will still be required to wear the College bucket hat to and from College, as well as during all breaks and outdoor activities.

It is strongly recommended that students in Years 7 to 12 wear a College cap or bucket hat during breaks and outdoor activities in Term 4 of this year. However, the requirement will only officially begin from the start of 2020.

As with all items of College uniform, caps and/or bucket hats may be purchased from the College uniform shop which is open Tuesdays 8am-11am, Wednesdays 12pm-5pm, and Fridays 8am-11am.

We strongly recommend that the cap or hat is labelled as soon as it is purchased to aid students in looking after their belongings.

Primary School Cricket Clinic



Penrith Anglican College P&F will be hosting its inaugural Colour Run on Tuesday 12 November 2019.

We are raising funds towards the commercial fitting out of the hospitality area of the new Performing Arts Centre estimated to cost $100,000. This will mean top facilities for hospitality students. The school will also be able to rent out the space, bringing in further funds to help support the education and resources for our children.

The P&F’s goal for the Colour Run is for a fun, exciting day for our students whilst raising $35,000 towards the hos-pitality fit out. We have currently made a good start through sponsorship.

We are asking $20 per child for entry into the Colour Run, to help us reach the $35,000 goal., and hope students will support fundraising and gain sponsorship. Each family’s help and support is greatly appreciated and will help to further the success of our children.

Students will run, walk or crawl through the obstacle course and pass through colour checkpoints.

The powder is safe (Cornflour based)

Mufti day dress is required with usual College dress code. Students are encouraged to wear white. Although the colour washes out very easily, we advise you not to wear your best clothes or shoes (this is a messy event).

Students will be issued with a pair of bright coloured sunglasses to protect their eyes and will be rewarded with a frozen iceblock at completion of the course.

Parents, family and friends are welcome to attend on the day and participate to cheer on the students.

A selfie photo booth will be set up for you to capture a photo of your colour covered child.

In the event of inclement weather please refer to our Facebook page.

If you are able to help on the day, please comment on the P&F Facebook page under volunteers

For future businesses/families/guardians that are interested in sponsorship opportunities please email ;

Sunny Hunt — [email protected] for more information
