Students and staff dressed up in different shades of the colour pink to help raise money for Pink Stumps Day an initiative which raises money for the McGrath Foundation. 

The Foundation's mission is to see those affected by breast cancer in Australia have access to a breast care nurse. 

Crusoe College teacher Shane Bright said the fundraiser, in its second year, has been well supported by the student body. 

He said he was proud of the students who dressed up and made a gold coin donation to the cause. 

"It was a fun day and a good chance for us to raise some money for the McGrath Foundation," Mr Bright said.  

"We were hoping to raise about $500, but I think we will pass that, which is great."

Mr Bright said the McGrath Foundation was an important organisation to get behind. 

He said most people within the Crusoe College community had been directly or indirectly affected by breast cancer. 

The day of fundraising included a series of super eight cricket matches, while year 10 student leaders Jasmine Mark, Harry Mustey, Matthew Adams and Georgia Pike ran the barbecue lunch. 

Students also had the chance to take on their teachers in a special cricket match in the afternoon.

Mr Bright said the school was also running a handball competition, with all funds raised from the activity going towards purchasing new sporting equipment for the school.

Mr Bright said the fundraiser was also a nice way to end term one.
