The nation was encouraged to “Colour Your Day” last week.
Pupils and staff of various Central Otago schools were among those who took part in the movement last Friday, which was designed to brighten the spirits of New Zealanders following the Christchurch terror attack.
Here is a snapshot of how bright some schools looked.
