Bursting with energy, colour, and community spirit, this much-loved annual fundraiser promises a fun-filled afternoon where students, staff, and families can run, laugh, and get absolutely covered in colour—all for a fantastic cause. This year’s event will begin at 1:50 p.m. on the school oval, and the entire school community is encouraged to get involved.
Following the incredible success of 2024, when an impressive $28,571 was raised, the goal for 2025 is even more ambitious: to double that amount and direct the funds toward much-needed playground upgrades.
Playground Update
According to the school’s P&C, demolition of the junior playground officially began on Friday, 16 May, and is now well underway. Students have been watching the transformation with great excitement as their future play space begins to take shape before their eyes.
Because of the generosity and enthusiasm of Tingalpa State School families, the community has already raised an incredible $5,313.00 in just the first week of fundraising.
Whether participants are running for fun, cheering from the sidelines, or supporting the event behind the scenes, the Monty the Monstar Fun Run hosted by Australian Fundraising is a celebration of community spirit, healthy activity, and positive change.
