BOY, were these students feeling blue!

The South East Essex College students brought a whole new aspect to having a blue day when they wore blue body paint, blue clothes and wigs.

They were raising money to fund an art exhibition.

The five girls raised £700 for the display to be held at the college's East Street centre between 6 and 9pm on Monday, April 21.

Michelle Evans, 21, Sarah Fulcher, 20, Sade Teniola, 20, Leanne New, 20, and Hazel Roberts, 21, wore blue while fellow fine art student Clare Skinner, 25, took part in a sponsored silence for the whole day.
