Reuben Harris gets covered in coloured powder during Awapuni School’s annual fun yesterday. Students and teachers alike took part in the popular event which featured multiple obstacles and culminated in a teachers versus students relay — won by the students. Senior students helped out, including buddying up with the little ones.

A fun run under the summer sun was enjoyed by Awapuni School students and teachers this week.

The annual event features multiple obstacles ranging from a slip and slide mat to hay bale jumps, and there's also the matter of being coated in coloured powder along the way.

The entire school takes part with senior students also helping out as "buddies" for the littlies.

It also features a students versus teachers relay which this year was won by the students, although apparently there was a hint of controversy to the victory.

Ultimately, though, it's all about the main word in the title  . . . fun. And there was plenty of that.
