Grandparents’ Day in spirit for 2021

Grandparents’ Day is a highlight in the calendar “ “for many within the QMC community. For this reason, we were devastated as changing circumstances forced the cancellation of this year’s event. So many students, in particular the youngest, were beside themselves with excitement at the chance to perform on stage with their friends to an audience of their tupuna. In lieu of the day not being able to go ahead as normal this year, the Junior Schools performances were recorded and posted on Seesaw for parents to share with their daughters’ grandparents. Year 2 student, Myra Bhavin, was one of six students chosen to read out a message for their grandparents on camera and said she was extremely nervous. “I had stage fright. I was nervous about speaking in front of the older girls,” said Myra, who in reality showed little evidence of nerves on camera! “I miss my grandparents because they live in India and I last saw them when I was five. I wrote this for my Grandma. Cooking, dishes, cleaning and gardening, caring and playing with me lots. Love Myra,” she added. QMC is examining possible dates for a rescheduled Grandparents’ Day in Term 1 of 2022.
