OLMCBI 209

On Wednesday 28 August, we gathered for a special breakfast to celebrate Father’s Day. The event began with a delicious spread, featuring egg and bacon muffins, pancakes, ham and cheese croissants, fruit cups, and, of course, coffee.

It was heart-warming to see so many daughters celebrating their fathers. Ten students shared touching and sometimes humorous stories about what their fathers mean to them, creating a memorable and emotional experience.

A special thank you to Phil from Veneto Club Men’s Shed, for taking time to speak about the benefits of attending the Men’s Shed monthly meetings. His insights into the value of engaging with community leaders and connecting with other men in the group were greatly appreciated.

We extend our gratitude to the wonderful volunteers from the Parents’ Association, especially the fundraising committee for organising the raffle prizes. Events like this are only possible because of your dedication and hard work behind the scenes.

We would also like to thank our sponsors for their generous donations: Piccoli Portraits, Snap Fitness, Heidelberg Golf Club, Farm Vigano, Chocilo, Chemist Warehouse and Heide Museum of Modern Art.

Each guest received a special gift bag, thanks to Lia Heim's generous contribution. Her thoughtful gesture was the perfect way to end the breakfast.

No matter the role they play in our lives, father, stepfather, grandad, or mentor—these father figures hold a special place in our hearts.

Thank you to all the father figures for your love and support.

We look forward to seeing you at our next Parents’ Association event in Term 4!
