Mother’s Day Celebration
Yesterday the Junior School celebrated the beautiful mums and significant female figures in our lives. The morning began with delicious egg and bacon rolls cooked by our volunteer dads and followed with a liturgy. A lot goes on behind the scenes to plan, replan, pivot and prepare for the breakfast. Cooking for about 300 mums is no easy feat. There was a production line of volunteers getting ready from 6:00am. What an outstanding community we have.
The choir and Kindergarten performed songs for our mums, and a panel of mums at different stages in their ‘mum journey’ shared their insights. Thank you Mrs Limbrey & Mrs Mackay for guiding the choir. Thank you to Mrs Frew, Mrs Borg, Mrs Grima, Mrs Limbrey, and Mrs Hayes for sharing your beautiful stories.
Our mums, just like Mary our Good Mother, are very special people in our lives. They teach us, they guide us, they feed us, and they love us.
We are, because they are.
We wish all our St Greg’s mums a very special day on Sunday.
Mother’s Day Shopping
As usual, our students are so lucky to be able to go on a little shopping spree to purchase gifts for their mums, grandmothers, or significant person in their lives. It is always a delight to watch them selecting that ‘just right’ gift. I know there are many surprised faces when the gifts are opened on Mother’s Day – if the children can wait that long to give them to mum! Thank you to Mrs Stevens and Mrs Denford who coordinated these gifts and to our parent helpers who kindly gave of their time to help the students select their gifts.
Catholic Schools NSW
This week, the Catholic Schools NSW media crew came to St Gregs to take some photos of some students in the Senior and Junior Schools. They visited some classes and sport lessons. We may see some of our students appear in promotional material in the near future!
