From Breakfast to Bellinis: Mother’s Day Highlights

Our College community came together beautifully this Mother’s Day to celebrate the incredible mothers, grandmothers, carers and special women in our lives.

At our Mother’s Day Breakfast, we were delighted to welcome and serve more than 1,000 guests and students. A heartfelt thank you goes to our generous sponsor Primo Foods for catering our delicious hot breakfast items, and to our amazing volunteers who worked tirelessly behind the scenes to help feed and support our community.

The celebrations continued at our Mediterranean-themed Mother’s Day Lunch, where 150 guests gathered at Ecco Ristorante for a long Italian-inspired lunch. With sparkling water views providing the perfect backdrop, guests enjoyed Bellinis, captured memories in our photo booth and shared heartfelt stories about their mums and the joys of motherhood.

Our Mother’s Day Raffle was also a tremendous success, raising close to $10,000 to support the installation of air conditioning in our school halls. Thank you to everyone who donated, contributed and helped source the incredible prizes on offer. Congratulations to the lucky winner of our Luxury Queensland Weekend Away – Nicole Jabbour!

Finally, our Mother’s Day Stalls were a wonderful highlight for students from Prep to Year 6. More than 1,300 gifts were carefully sourced and wrapped by our dedicated P&F team and superstar parent volunteers, creating a truly special experience for our students.

The excitement and pride on the children’s faces as they selected their own gifts for Mum was incredibly heartwarming to see. We were especially touched to hear lovely feedback from some new students to Gioia House, commenting, ‘Wow, we had nothing like this at our old school.‘

We hope all our mums, grandmothers and carers enjoyed their thoughtful and lovingly chosen gifts and thank our wonderful volunteers for helping make the stalls such a memorable success.

Thank you to everyone who attended and helped make these events so memorable. The generosity, warmth and spirit of our parent community continues to make our College such a special place.

Kindergarten Catch Up

The rain held out long enough for our Kindy families to enjoy some lunch and leisure time beyond the school gates. It was a joy to see some of our newest community members come together and form connections.
