Sydney Swans and Brisbane Lions supporters were out in force at the St Michael's footy colours day before the AFL Grand Final.

Footy rivalries came to the fore around the region last week in the lead up to the AFL grand final.

For the St Michael’s Footy Colours Day on Friday - the last day of the school term - students dressed in their favourite footy team colours and participated in footy activities.

Hosted at the Hardinge St Oval from mid-morning, the students went through a rotation of skill drills and activities led by teachers, Year 6 students and Deniliquin High School helpers.

Family and friends of the school community were invited to pop down and share a barbecue lunch with the students and staff, and to get involved in the competitive but friendly competitions.

Students from Years 2, 3 and 4 formed a team to take on their parents, while the Year 5 and 6 kids formed another to take on theirs.

The day also saw students test their skills with a longest kick and accuracy challenges.
