Bourchier St Primary School’s Winter Festival was nothing short of legendary on Friday.
The fundraiser for People Supporting People, a non-profit that supports local soup kitchens and people in need, saw students come to school dressed in their warmest winter woollies.
As for the teachers, they were in figuratively hot water as they nervously awaited the day’s main event — a slam-dunk into an ice bath.
One by one, teachers experienced the thrills and chills of the plunge, sliding into an inflatable kiddie pool filled with ice-cold water.
The News photographer Taylah Baker was on the sidelines of the splash zone to capture all the action.
Prep student Andor Salihi ski-suited up and won the best-dressed award for his year level.

The look of concern on Year 5 teacher Ebony Peters’s face says it all – it’s a slippery slide down.
