FOUNTAIN Gate Primary School celebrated the end of the footy season in style.
The school held a special Footy Day last month where all students were encouraged to wear their team colours.
Staff from Fountain Gate Primary also used Footy Day as an opportunity to get involved with the Ice Bucket Challenge, with several teachers dousing themselves in freezing cold water to raise money for motor neurone disease.
News photographer Donna Oates dropped by to capture all the action from the day.
