Runnymede Council runs fun and unique Spirit events every year, and these activities help raise funds required to deliver the many “extras” that we have come to expect as standard for our children at Runnymede. Every year we raise money to benefit all students!

A fun tradition for the whole family! Movie Night happens once or twice throughout the year, and is a great chance for parents to chat (in the hallway while enjoying some Bake Sale treats) while kids bring their blankets and watch a movie with friends! Pizza orders are taken in advance if you want to do dinner and a movie, and the movie is free! (details to come for Booking tickets and ordering pizza!)
