Trinity Catholic Primary School, Murrumburrah have raised $6,000 through a school walkathon to fund outdoor shading and seating improvements.

Students, family members and friends of the school were treated to checkpoints along the route with fruit and refreshments, before ending the walk with a barbeque at the park.

The Murrumburrah community rallied to raise funds for the school, with generous contributions from many local businesses.

Students who raised the most money at the Walkathon received special acknowledgement and all students were entered into a lucky door prize.

Principal Marylou Gorham said that it was a sensational day and thanked everyone who assisted in organising and running the major fundraising event.
