This morning, our PACE Committee hosted Mother’s Day Breakfast to celebrate the incredible mums and mother figures in our school community. Families gathered to enjoy delicious pastries, students enjoyed hot chocolates, and the coffee van was once again a crowd favourite! Thank you to our Aerobics Teams for the special performances, it was a joy to see them perform with such enthusiasm. Celebrations continued with a heartfelt Mother’s Day Liturgy led by our reception classes, reminding us all of the love, care, and strength our mums show every day. As the first community event organised under the new PACE model, we are grateful to everyone who contributed to making the morning such a welcoming and memorable occasion
