On Friday, March 22, Shepparton East Primary School staff and students got messy for a good cause, and participated in the Foodbank Food Fight Fun Run.
It wasn’t an actual food fight, but a fundraiser to raise money for Foodbank Victoria, which distributes food to those most in need.
By the end of the day, students and staff were covered in slime and colour from head to toe.
News photographer Rechelle Zammit went along to see just how messy things got.
