GRANDPARENTS’ DAY AT DIO

Abeautiful day dawned for our annual Grandparents’ Day on Thursday 8 April 2021. The day commenced with the grandparents and special friends of students from the Foundation Class through to Year 8 ushered into the Arts Centre theatre. The theatre is a wonderful addition for occasions like this – everyone has a comfortable seat and great view, and it was marvellous to be able to accommodate the 600-plus grandparents without the fuss of finding enough chairs.

Principal Heather McRae welcomed our visitors and they all enjoyed the items performed by the students on stage before heading to School House Lawn and the Junior School turf to meet their granddaughters and share the delicious picnic lunches the grandparents had prepared.

After the picnic, the students took their visitors on tour to their classrooms and favourite parts of the campus. It was a wonderfully happy day for all.
