The event gave students the chance to find a little present for their parent before Mother's Day on Sunday, while raising funds for a special cause.

Funds raised was donated to the Do It For Dolly campaign.

Do It For Dolly is an organisation that raises awareness and funds for anti-bullying initiatives and online safety programs.

Echuca College students were joined by visitors from Echuca 208 and Twin River primary schools.

The day offered students the chance to browse stalls filled with delightful treats and thoughtful gifts and enjoy raffles, a barbecue lunch and games.
