Kippa Ring State School

“Today was an amazing experience for all our children here at Kippa Ring State School. The School Fun Run brings so much fun to our kids, so much colour, so much energy, it's just fantastic and the kids just seem so happy and everyone's happy. That's the best thing about our day!

I have tears when I just see the kids walk out, they see it, and they just go WOW… and it was even better today when we had the huge inflatables. It was amazing, it's so good to see the smiles on the kids’ faces.

This year it's been a really challenging. So, to wrap up a really big three terms with a great celebration that the School Fun Run provides has been a really awesome.

Awesome day, it is sheer joy, it's sheer joy for me because that's what I’m here for. It’s all about the kids. To see them so happy, and when they come up and they go ‘Miss Dean this is the best day of my life’ … I've got tears now; it is it's a great!

It's amazing, it's just pure happiness. We created memories for many of those children today that they will have all year, and for years to come. It was fun, it was successful and it was low risk. We did it in a safe way for them. I am very proud of my staff.

To all the people that donated, I want to say a huge big thank you! It means a lot to us, especially our kids, they look forward to this and they're just so happy. I know they're going home to say ‘Mum, this is the best day’.

Yeah, thank you School Fun Run. I couldn't not recommend it. A day in the sun, the smiles and the excitement, and the joy, not just from the teachers but from the kids as well, it has been a really great experience for us.”
