The school hosted a fundraiser for Movember and teachers encourage students to wear a moustache.
Teacher Jason Weir said the students wore fake facial hair or drew moustaches on with textas or make-up.
He said they also donated a gold coin, which went to the Movember foundation.
The foundation encourages men to grow facial hair throughout November and raises awareness of men's health issues, including prostate cancer and depression.
“There was some nice pencil moustaches and some big, long handlebar ones,” Mr Weir said.
“Everyone had a good day.”
Mr Weir said the school had a Movember fundraiser each year.
“There were about three or four male teachers who grew a moustache to promote the cause to the children,” he said.
“We also wrote letters home to dads to make sure everyone was okay.” Mr Weir said it was great to see the students getting behind the cause.
Other Wimmera groups are also supporting Movember this year, with a Dimboola team hosting a fun run from 10.30am on Sunday.
