Each year St Joseph's in Leeton supports Catholic Mission with its "mission month" fundraising each October.
In 2021 this called for a "crazy sock day" also known as "socktober" where students wore their most brightest, colourful and out there socks to school for the day.
"Socktober for mission month encourages us to engage with mission for children by using their heads to inquire about the reality of the world around us, using our hearts to feel empathy for those in situations of great need and using our hands to take action for them in whatever way we are able," St Joseph's REC and literacy instructional teacher Lauren Watson said.
IN OTHER NEWS:
"Unfortunately this year our usual mission day was unable to proceed in the way to which we are accustomed.
"Instead, we pulled on some crazy socks for the day and made a money line for Socktober.
"We all had a ball while we raised money for kids in need around the world."
Students also enjoyed the chance to dress up their usual uniforms for the day and show off some of their fun socks.
