The drought fundraiser will be held at the school in David Street from 10.30am-12.30pm, with a gold coin donation for entry.
Students and visitors are asked to dress as a farmer for a gold coin donation, with plenty of activities on offer including a barbecue lunch, arts and crafts stall, cake stall and face painting. Visitors can donate money to a Buy-a-Bale initiative as well.
Principal Beck Dowe said the school community wanted to do something to help those affected by the drought.
“Being part of a rural community and having farms surrounding Carroll and Gunnedah, I think it’s important that we do try and give back to the people that have been helping us out,” she said.
"And I think it’s important for the kids to have awareness of not just what’s going on in our community but the wider community as well.”
