Father’s Day Stall – Thank You

They’ve done it again! A huge thank you to CHAPs for running our Father’s Day Stall. Your time and effort made it possible for our kids to pick out something special for their dads and carers — no doubt there are a couple of dads unwrapping socks and a coffee mug two years in a row!

And in true tradition, it was also the canteen’s biggest sales day of the year, with all that spare change burning a hole in pockets on the way out.

We’re so grateful for your support!

 

Speaking of fathers... Our leadership team recently reflected on the importance of reading role models in children's lives. If we want children to gain all the benefits of being a life-long reader, it is so important that they see the adults in their lives immersed in books. Here is a short article on why it may be particularly important for fathers (or male care-givers) to read to their children.
