Dannevirke High School students competed in their annual cross-country run , followed by a run of a different kind ... a fun colour run that left students - and some teachers - falling about laughing and covered in coloured chalk from head to toe. Dannevirke High School photographers caught some of the action - and the colour - on the day, May 3.
