Grandparents’ Day In Term 4, the School hosted over 700 grandparents of current students for the annual Grandparents’ Day, a calendar event that is much treasured across the School community. The sun was out for this special day, as guests enjoyed a morning tea spread, followed by an address by the Headmaster, and performances from the Junior and Middle School Music Ensembles. Highlights included Nicholas Feng (Year 7) stepping in at the last minute to lead the Middle School Strings Ensemble from the podium and Head of Music Mr Ben Bishop interviewing students about why grandparents are so special. Samuel Pai (Year 5) remarked that he loved his grandparents ‘Because they give me tasty food!’, while Alexander Yakop (Year 5) loved his grandparents ‘because they let me do whatever I want.’ After the performances, grandparents met up with their grandsons for a tour around the School. Many delighted in seeing the playgrounds and animals in the Junior School, while those visiting Senior School enjoyed trying their hand at robotics or having a quiet moment together around the grounds. Students are always proud to share their school life with family, and we hope that many treasured memories were made on the day.
