From the Director of Community Engagement

This week has been been filled with community connections as we welcomed more than 1,000 parents, carers, grandparents and friends across a number of events!

With the great weather we have been having it was a perfect day on Tuesday to hold the Grandparents Picnic for Preparatory and Junior School students. It was a delight watching the girls interact with their grandparents and share a picnic on Main Oval.

Today we held our McGrath Foundation Morning Tea to raise much-needed funds for breast care nurses. We welcomed around 500 parents and carers to share morning tea with their daughters. A big pink shout-out to our student captains of Community Service Alison Cook, Elizabeth Gan and Hannah Grogan for running the day so smoothly, and for rallying the student volunteers to add a splash of pink on Main Oval. The counting is still taking place, however, so far we have raised more than $5,000! Thank you to everyone who purchased a ticket or made a donation.

Coming up we also have:

• Year 12 2020 leavers reunion tomorrow evening 21 May from 6.00pm.

Welcome back Catherine

Today we had a lovely visit from one of our Alumni, Dr Catherine Yang. You may remember Catherine from our recent advertising campaign, or from the memorable speech she made to students across K-12 at this year’s Foundation Day. Catherine joined us today for a cupcake at the Mother’s Day morning tea and was blown away and humbled that so many girls remembered her and her message of gratitude.
