Members of the year six Social Justice Team organised the dress-up day and got together to sell green jelly cups at lunch time.

All money raised from the green jelly sales will go towards project compassion — the school’s annual Lenten appeal in support of charity against poverty, Caritas.

News photographer Megan Fisher went along to capture the spectacular costumes.
