The Year 3 to Year 6 Grandparents and Special Friends Morning was held under bright and sunny skies.

For the first time, this special occasion was held in the newly opened Dr Pamela Wall Centre, allowing grandparents and special friends with the opportunity to experience this impressive new facility.

The morning began with the Year 3 and Year 4 students delighting their guests with a range of songs and musical performances centred around themes of gratitude, family, and connection.

Following this, the Year 5 and Year 6 students continued in a similar spirit, with students sharing songs, performances from the Strings Ensemble, and contributions from the Chapel Choir.

A particularly special feature of both services was students sharing what they love most about their grandparents and special friends. These personal messages brought smiles, laughter, and even the occasional tear –  creating memorable moments for all in attendance.

Following the services, students spent time with their guests and shared morning tea together. Warm beverages and a sweet treat were on offer as they sat in the sun chatting or playing lawn games together. There was a great hum of chatter as grandparents and special friends enjoyed the opportunity to connect with their grandchildren.

Grandparents and Special Friends Day is always a cherished occasion at St Peter’s Woodlands, and this year was no exception. It was a wonderful celebration of love across generations, recognising the invaluable role that grandparents and special friends play in the lives of our students. The day was filled with joy, laughter, and meaningful connections, creating special memories that will be treasured by all who attended.
