The Easter Bunny surprised the children and came to spread joy and Easter cheer with them - along with a chocolate treat.
The schools thank Club Tocumwal for again organising this special surprise.
It is such a treat for the children and enjoyed by all.

Tocumwal Lions with the skin clinic volunteers.
The Tocumwal Lions Club thanks everyone who took advantage of the free skin checks last week when the mobile skin clinic came to town.
There was a massive response from the community, with 111 skin checks completed across the two days the bus was here.
Forty per cent of these people were referred to see their GP for further checks, and in good news, the referral rate was down from 65 per cent during the skin bus’s last visit three years ago.
The bus is staffed by volunteer dermoscopists who donate their time and expertise to travel to towns around Victoria and southern NSW, providing these free skin checks.
Tocumwal Lions Club came on board and provided accommodation and meals for the five volunteers during the two days.
Tocumwal Lions hope to have it back within the next 12 to 24 months for another round of life saving skin checks.

Tocumwal Public School was all set to celebrate Harmony Day last week, but the rain put a slight dampener on its plans.
The whole school activity was postponed, but students still embraced the spirit of the day with engaging indoor activities and discussions.
The school’s classrooms were filled with a sea of orange - the colour of harmony, inclusivity, and respect for others.
It was fantastic to see everyone coming together to celebrate the diversity that makes their school so special.
