Mother’s Day is always a special occasion for our Archdiocesan Catholic schools. It is an opportunity to reflect and give thanks to the special women in our Catholic school communities.

Trinity Catholic Primary School in Murrumburrah, welcomed mothers, aunties, grandmothers and carers to the school for a Mother’s Day breakfast and pampering session. The special guests were treated to facials, massages and manicures, whilst enjoying a coffee and croissant with their children. Principal Caz Perryman said it was a great way to show appreciation for all of the important women in the school community.

Sts Peter and Paul Primary School, Garran, celebrated Mother’s Day with a ‘Donut Drive’. At school drop-off, mothers, grandmothers and carers were given a special donut and all students took home a small plant to present as a gift. Kindergarten students were asked to share, on camera, their favourite thing about their mum. The footage was compiled into a touching video and shared with the school community.

On Mother’s Day, the Merici College, Braddon, Dance Troupe performed at the Haig Park Village Markets dedicating their performance to the special women in their lives. The College also welcomed special guests to the school for a Mother’s Day Liturgy and breakfast.

Trinity Catholic College in Goulburn held a Mother’s Day Liturgy to reflect and give thanks for the special women in their school community. Students were encouraged to tie knots into pieces of wool in their house colours to mark memories of significant women in their lives. These pieces of wool are currently displayed in the College’s front office.

To all the special women in our Archdiocesan school communities, we would like to thank you for all that you do.
