Run for Us 2024
A Fun Run Fundraiser for Newlands Intermediate.
Newlands, Wellington
Newlands Intermediate School's annual “Run for Us” event will be held this year on Thursday 28 March. The day before Good Friday and the Easter break.
This is a major fundraising event for our school but just as importantly it provides an opportunity for our students to set goals focussed on a physical activity. The Run for Us encourages community participation in a fun event and fosters one of our core school values – participation and effort.
Our fundraising efforts this year are focused on providing new and good quality sports and recreation equipment and providing equal opportunities for all students to participate in school-wide events, upgrading musical instruments, and purchasing equipment to broaden our curriculum.
Every year we set our circuit at 500m which means that our students will be able to complete measurable distances i.e. 2 laps = 1 kilometre, 42 laps = 21km = a half marathon!
Students will run or walk throughout the day and keep a tally of how many laps they have achieved.
Please consider sponsoring one of our students as recognition of the distance they will cover or simply make a donation.
