Mothers Day Liturgy

Thank you to the mothers, grandmas, godmothers, aunties, big sisters and all those who provide motherly care to our students and were able to attend the Mother’s Day Liturgy and morning tea in the staffroom last Friday. Once again the Sugarloaf Café and Hospitality students ensured that the event was well catered.

Thanks to all who attended the Reach Out and Relax Mother’s Day evening. It was a great night of meeting new people and catching up with old acquaintances. Many thanks to Lachy and Taryn Mutton and staff at 5290 Function Centre for hosting such a fun night. We hope all mothers had an enjoyable Mother’s Day.
