Easter Hat Parade

From traditional Easter hats to ‘superhero bunnies’ – the Junior Primary Easter Hat Parade had it all.

Parents, grandparents, students and staff from across the school, eagerly lined the JP playground to watch and wave as each class proudly marched around the basketball court, displaying their magnificent hats. We thank you all for your help behind the scenes in making these wonderful creations come to life.

The picnic in Swain Gardens after the parade was a great way to celebrate the end of a very successful Term One together.

There was great anticipation for the Easter Bilby visit. He certainly did not disappoint! While we were at Swain Gardens, the Easter Bilby managed to spring out of the beautiful bush behind our school and visit all the boys’ Easter baskets leaving delicious chocolate eggs and only a trace of magical Bilby dust behind him.

My hat was blue with carrots, radishes and two big rabbits. I liked the bunnies with the glasses on my hat. I loved making it with my Dad. We used a hot glue gun. Hamish Johnson (Kindy)
I had a Spiderman Easter hat. It had Spiderman Easter eggs on it and buildings. We made Easter baskets and the Easter Bilby put some Easter eggs in them. We saw some footprints on the ground that the Easter Bilby left. Ted Ireland (Kindy)
