Everything from coloured hair, to bright tutu's, fancy accessories and even face paint was worn by students and teachers alike as they got into the spirit of the 2021 Tokyo Olympic Games.

According to principle Michael Morrell, the special day was organised for the students as the school community had all been very excited to watch Australian athletes go for gold.

"The reason that St Patrick's hosted a green and gold day for the students was to celebrate the Olympics and Australia's participation in them" Mr Morrell said.

"All of our students have the Olympics bug and we are very excited to watch Australian athletes compete."
