FRIDAY was onesie day at the Mount Evelyn Primary School July vacation care program, with children and teachers donning their best one-piece garments.
Children from all over were in attendance for onesie day from local Mount Evelyn children to children from Yarra Junction, Monbulk, Mooroolbark and even as far as Melton.
During the vacation program, children enjoy in house and excursion activities such as trips to the aquarium, African drumming lessons, food craft day and learning experiences like building worm farms.
The Mount Evelyn Primary School vacation and after hours care program will be celebrating one full year of activity packed programs in September.
The program is an accredited childcare service that is eligible for childcare benefit and childcare rebate fee deductions and is open to all children of primary school age.
The programs are run through Mount Evelyn Primary School, and care co-ordinator Melissa McDonald said she really appreciated the level of support she received.
“Scott Tully is the principal here at Mount Evelyn and he is just so helpful,” she said.
“I’ve never worked in an environment where the principal of the school has been so supportive of the care program. Any money we raise goes straight back into the programs to continuously improve them.”
