Teacher and emcee Brett Harris said Easter was a wonderful time for everyone to come together.

“Not only to showcase our beautiful Easter bonnets ... but also to reflect on what we’re thankful for,” he said.

Students with the most standout bonnet selected by Mr Harris at the end of each year level’s parade.

Selected students were asked what the inspiration was behind their bonnets and what they were grateful for, with many choosing family.
