As the sun rose last Friday morning, the smell of sausages cooking on the barbecue filled the air. Students arrived one-by-one, holding hands with fathers and guiding them to the Junior School undercroft for an early breakfast.

Father's Day is a special day to celebrate the extraordinary men in our lives who have shown us guidance, love, and support. Our Junior School Father's Day Breakfast was a simple gesture, a small token of our appreciation for everything our fathers and father figures do.

The morning was filled with laughter, heartfelt conversations, and the joy of spending quality time together.

To all the fathers and father figures who joined us at our Father's Day Breakfast, we extend our sincerest gratitude.

An enormous thank you to all our Junior School staff, our Secondary School colleagues and Year 9 Service Students who helped to make the morning possible. Special thank yous must go to Ms Cathy Jackson, Mrs Erica Whitby, Ms Kath Notley, Year 11 student Will Pak Poy and the entire facilities team. We are grateful for your support and assistance – we could not have done it without you.

As we look back and reflect on Friday morning, let us carry this appreciation with us throughout the year. Every day is an opportunity to show gratitude and love to those who mean the most to us.

To all of our community members – we hope you had a happy Father's Day.
