MGC Year 11 & 12 Social Event

A small group of year 11/12 parents got together last term for a fun evening of Bare Foot Bowls at Richmond Union Bowls Club. A wonderful social club that welcomed our group with tips and tricks of the game. We look forward to heading back there later in the year for another round or two of bowls and drinks.  

Staff Thank You Lunch

The Staff Thank You lunch was hosted on Monday 29th April by a group of PA members with the generosity and support of our school families. A big thank you to those who delivered delicious homemade goods, and other items to treat our MGC staff for the amazing work they do every day. The PA are extremely grateful for your contributions and the staff were overwhelmed and incredibly grateful for such a fabulous lunch. Thank you to everyone who helped organise everything, especially our PA members Alison, Julie, Janine & Kirsty.

Mother’s Day Breakfast

Our Parent’s Association added a new event to the calendar this year, a lovely Mother’s Day breakfast held for Mothers, daughters, and carers in the Gillard Centre. The decision was made to host it early to accommodate those who may be attending multiple Mother’s Day events over the next week! A beautiful assortment of bakery goods such as bagels, cupcakes, croissants, donuts, chai and yoghurt pots were thoroughly enjoyed with a juice or hot beverage. Big thank you to our PA member Sue for coordinating this wonderful event and for Sarah, Bunny, Angela, Alison, and Toni for all your help assisting on the day.
