Students were allowed to come to school dressed up as a farmer and bring in a gold coin donation, which was donated to the charity 'Buy a Bale'.
On the day the school raised over $600, which is an amazing amount for the school community.
Students came up with the idea from learning about drought and watching ABC's Behind the News program, and seeing other schools doing similar things to help out.
Lucy Hall and Nina Richardson-Bartley in Year 6 thought to do this farmers day and asked teacher Mrs Zoe Ruckley and their class 6 Red before they went down to principal Mrs Coral O'Neill for her approval.
"When we put the whole plan into action it was a great, fun day," Lucy and Nina said.
"Thank you to everyone who participated and brought in a gold coin donation!"
