A delightful Easter hat parade launched the end-of-term celebrations at Tongala Primary School on Friday, April 4, bringing the school community together.

Students from each year level paraded around the basketball court, eagerly high-fiving spectators and spreading infectious smiles along the way.

The students showed an impressive array of hats, from adorable bunny ears and colourful flower baskets to a standout handcrafted St Kilda-themed creation proudly worn by the school's principal, Rob Hogan.

The spirited event kicked off a bustling day of term-end celebrations, featuring engaging Easter-themed morning activities and a delicious nacho lunch prepared by parents.
