Grandparents bring warmth, wisdom, and a touch of magic to every family gathering, and this year’s Grandparents Day at the College was no exception. Hosted by our Year 7 students, the day offered a chance for over 180 grandparents to experience a slice of school life alongside their grandchildren.
The morning began with a welcome reception, complete with a spread of morning tea and tea and coffee in the Elizabeth MacFarlan Commons. Once refreshed, grandparents joined their grandchildren in their classrooms, where the classes had prepared engaging presentations to showcase their year’s learning. From science experiments and creative writing displays to musical items, each class offered a unique glimpse into their educational journey. Grandparents joined in the fun, engaging with projects and sharing stories from their own school days to our quizzical Year 7 students.
The day wrapped up with a shortened school tour due to the ongoing drizzle outside, and a special Year 7 assembly, led by the students held in the College chapel. At the assembly a review of 2025 events was shared, together with the presentations by the Principal Damon Emtage of the Service Awards, a voluntary programme undertaken and in line with the College values and annually completed by many Year 7 students. As the guests left the chapel they were treated to a rousing perform by the 2nd Pipe Band.
Grandparents Day continues to be a cherished tradition, celebrating the bond between generations. It was a day of laughter, learning, and heartfelt connections that will be remembered fondly by all who attended.
