Hats off to students from two Hoppers Crossing schools, who celebrated Easter in fine style.

Derrimut Heath Primary School, which is part of Baden Powell College, and Woodville Primary School hosted Easter hat parades in the lead-up to the school holidays.

Youngsters at Derrimut Heath took part in an Easter bonnet parade on March 28, showing off the diverse and colourful headwear they had made during class, followed by a picnic.

Woodville prep and grades 1 and 2 pupils participated in their school’s annual Easter hat parade on March 29.

Students had spent time working with older children from their “buddy” grades, to create artistic hats for the occasion.

After the parade, the fun continued with an Easter egg hunt on the school oval.
