All 575 children have played a part in the sea of hands and feet featured on home-made bunting which stretches across a long section of the front fence on George Street.
The aim of the exercise is to draw attention to the fact the school is celebrating NAIDOC Week.
Debbie Wilkin from Bathurst Public was a driving force behind the initiative and is elated with the result of the kids' hard work.
"Every child took part by dunking mostly hands, but some feet, into paint and putting their stamp on a blank canvas of cloth bunting," Debbie said.

"It was a big job and very labour intensive cutting each piece out by hand, but the end result hanging out the front of the school is just fantastic.
"The aim was to recognise and create awareness about the fact it's NAIDOC Week which has the theme of 'Together We Walk' and we've certainly achieved that. A lot of people have commented about how good the bunting looks. It's all been very positive.
"And what a fun way to celebrate NAIDOC Week. It got the whole school involved."
Debbie said the bunting would hang on the fence until the end of this week.
