A Morning of Memories at Grandparents Day

On 25 October, we welcomed an excited crowd of grandparents for its much-loved Grandparents Day, offering a morning filled with joy, creativity, and connection. This year’s celebration held special significance as Marianne Duston, in her first year as Principal, warmly addressed guests with heartfelt reflections and shared a poem, setting the tone for a morning of intergenerational bonding.

The school assembly featured an array of performances from various areas of school-life, including the Ukelele Group, a charming poem about an unfortunate Humpty Dumpty from the Junior Poetry Showcase, and vibrant music from the Orchestra and Percussion Group. Head Girl Farrah Palmer and Deputy Ella Fox extended a warm welcome to the grandparents, who were clearly moved by the students’ talent and enthusiasm.

A new addition this year was a thoughtfully curated book stand, inviting grandparents to browse and leave a lasting mark by selecting a storybook to donate to the school. After the assembly, grandparents joined their granddaughters in classrooms, where they admired students’ work and learned about their school day.

The morning concluded with a delicious tea, where students and grandparents shared smiles and stories. Grandparents Day continues to be a cherished tradition at the Girls’ School, honouring the bond that spans generations and leaves lasting memories for all involved.
