Year 5/6 students co-designed the course and filled it with many exciting activities, including a mini trampoline, stepping-stones, hurdles, a hopscotch course, hay bales and balance boards.

Principal Janice Eddy said excitement built throughout the day, but it was the arrival of the Mathoura Rural Fire Brigade’s fire-engine that saw enthusiasm spike.

‘‘The students were sprayed with water, before heading off on the track,’’ she said.

‘‘Bursts of vibrant colour splattered crisp white shirts along the way. ‘‘The students’ smiles tell the rest of the story. ‘‘This is certainly a day students of MPS look forward to each year.’’
