The day marks the final day before Lent begins for Christians around the world, and is often celebrated with pancakes.
Our Lady of the Sacred Heart Primary School, Elmore and St Joseph’s Primary School, Rochester were among the schools to host a pancake morning tea.
In Elmore, students enjoyed a breakfast of pancakes cooked by volunteer parents.
The four Year 6 students also took part in the annual pancake-making competition.

The students made their own creative designs before their peers voted on their favourite one.
At St Joseph’s School, Rochester the Parents and Friends committee took to the school kitchen to whip up some pancakes.
While the adults were busy in the kitchen, Year 6 students helped dish out the pancakes to students.

Every year during Lent, students also raise money for Caritas charity ‘Project Compassion’.
The St Joseph’s students kicked off their fundraising on Shrove Tuesday, collecting a few donations during the morning tea.
