The annual event was attended by 2000 students, staff and parents.
Six different churches in Bendigo opened their doors to the school, with more than 1000 gifts left at altars and under Christmas trees.
All gifts were donated to charities such as St Vincent de Paul, St Luke’s, Bendigo Baptist Community Care and Bendigo Uniting Church Outreach Appeal.
Junior students dressed as traditional biblical characters and performed at each church, entertaining the guests through song.
