Kaitaia literally erupted in colour earlier this month thanks to a local school fundraising event.
Pompallier Catholic School held its inaugural Colour Run at Kaitaia’s Te Ahu Loop on December 2 as a way to celebrate the year that was while raising funds for new playground equipment storage.
The event’s kaupapa (theme) was “Taha Tinana” (physical wellbeing) and “Taha Wairua” (spiritual wellbeing) with Principal Kathryn Carey saying the purpose was to hold “a fun community event for our great town”.
“We wanted to paint our beautiful town with fun, laughter and colour!” Carey said.
