Students at a Hoppers Crossing school celebrated all the colours of the rainbow on Friday.

Derrimut Heath Primary School, which is part of Baden Powell College, held a Rainbow Colour Day.

Students from prep to grade 2 wore bright clothes of all hues for the event.

They also created a human rainbow in the playground and took part in colour-based art, science, literacy and numeracy learning activities.

Students at Baden Powell’s Tarneit campus also held a Rainbow Colour Day last Monday, taking part in an arts project for Education Week.

The students painted rocks, inspired by the book

Only One You by Linda Kranz, which is about how everyone has something to contribute to the world.

All Green Nursery sponsored the rocks and families at the school donated towards the costs of paint and sealing materials.

The rocks will be permanently affixed to walls at the college.
