Colour Run Raises Funds For Local Charity

Students from St. Joseph’s High School Crossmaglen, Newtownhamilton High School, St. Paul’s High School Bessbrook and Newry High School took part in a colour run on Monday 26 September as part of their school social action project. The event was funded by the Executive Office’s TBUC programme and was delivered by Newry and Slieve Gullion District Electoral Areas (DEAs) in partnership with the Education Authority.

The aim of the colour run was to raise funds for the school’s selected charity, P.I.P.S Hope and Support.

The students involved in the event are part of the Shared Schools Education Programme, which brings students from different backgrounds together throughout the academic year to participate in a range of good relations, safety and health and wellbeing workshops and activities.

ENDS
