Owairoa Primary School is running a sponsored Obstacle Fun Run to raise funds towards their new school playground.
The customised playground, designed specifically for the school to complete the landscaping of their new 18 classroom facility (Times, October 4), includes a range of design elements to mentally and physically interest learners to “develop fine and gross motor skills and enhance strength, flexibility and coordination”.
The sketch plan images of the new playground designs were shared with students at assembly last week, much to their excitement, Owairoa reports.
In order to raise the funds for this playground, Owairoa is hosting a ‘Great Owairoa Obstacle Fun Run’, set for Thursday November 10.
After launching the online fundraiser last Wednesday, the total is currently sitting at $33,636, after just six days.
Students who have signed up for a fundraising page will go into the premier spot prize draw to win a kid’s smart watch.
There are also daily spot prizes.
In their monthly newsletter, Owairoa wrote, “Thanks to your fundraising efforts. Thank you to those who made a great effort over the long weekend to help share this with your friends and family.”
