Celebrating those we cherish
THE St Colman’s Primary School was delighted to welcome grandparents and special visitors into the classroom as part of the annual Grandparents’ and Special Persons’ Day held recently.
St Colman’s Primary School principal Janet Cain said the day included a shared morning tea before the grandparents and special persons joined the classroom to learn more about what the students are doing on a daily basis.
“This gave the children the opportunity to proudly share their learning, showcase their work and spend quality time with the important people in their lives,” she said.
“Students and their guests then gathered with staff to celebrate Mass, giving thanks for the special role that grandparents and loved ones play in our families and community.”
Mrs Cain said the Grandparents’ and Special Persons’ Day was always a highlight on the St Colman’s calendar.
“It is a wonderful opportunity to celebrate the love, wisdom and support that grandparents and special people provide, while strengthening the connections between our school, our families and the wider community,” she said.
“The smiles, laughter and conversations shared throughout the morning were a reminder of just how special this annual tradition has become for everyone involved.”
