YARRA Glen Primary School had an afternoon of activities for the community on Thursday 29 October, hosting its latest annual twilight market.

The market is organised by students and staff as an initiative to teach students about commerce, business and handling money – and is a chance for the community to come and take part in activities as the end of the year draws closer.

In the lead-up to the event, Heartland Church Pastor Mike Baimbridge said the event aimed to bring the town together for “a couple of hours of community celebration”, with hundreds expected to pass through the gates.

Mail photographer Rob Carew was at the event to capture the moments.
