The day encourages children to dress in the bright colours of spring, donating $1 for the opportunity as a contribution towards the National Cancer Society's Daffodil Day Appeal.

Ruahine and Districts School makes it a real celebration, each class having the opportunity to parade the outfits down a catwalk in the centre of the assembly hall.

This year every child dressed in spring colours as well as all of the staff, and the school managed to raise $308 for the Cancer Society.
