Principal's Message

Dear Parents,

Welcome back to Term 2. Shame the weather hasn't been kinder. We particularly welcome any new families to our community.

Honouring Motherhood: Celebrating Mother's Day

As we approach Mother’s Day, we’re reminded of the invaluable role mothers play in our lives. From their unconditional love to their unwavering support, mothers enrich our lives in countless ways. This Mother’s Day, let’s take a moment to celebrate and honour the remarkable women who have shaped us and continue to inspire us every day.

Motherhood is a journey filled with joy, challenges, and sacrifices. It’s a role that encompasses nurturing, teaching, and guiding with boundless patience and affection. Mothers are the architects of our earliest memories, the ones who soothe our fears and cheer us on through every triumph and setback.

Beyond biological ties, Mother’s Day is also an opportunity to recognise all maternal figures in our lives. Whether it’s a grandmother, aunt, stepmother, or mentor, these women leave an indelible mark with their wisdom, kindness, and strength.

In a world where multitasking has become second nature, mothers are the ultimate multitaskers. They effortlessly juggle countless responsibilities, often putting their needs last to ensure the well-being and happiness of their loved ones. Their resilience and selflessness are a testament to the power of a mother’s love.

This Mother’s Day, let’s show our appreciation in meaningful ways. It could be a heartfelt card, a thoughtful gift, or simply spending quality time together. Let’s cherish the opportunity to express our gratitude and affection for the incredible women who have shaped us into the people we are today.

As we celebrate Mother’s Day, let’s also remember those who may find this day difficult. For some, Mother’s Day serves as a reminder of loss, absence, or unfulfilled longing. Let’s extend our compassion and support to those who may be grieving or struggling during this time.

In essence, Mother’s Day is not just about a single day of recognition but about honouring the enduring impact of maternal love. It’s about expressing gratitude, fostering connection, and celebrating the women who make our world brighter with their presence.

To all the mothers, grandmothers, and maternal figures out there, we thank you for your boundless love, wisdom, and strength. Happy Mother’s Day!

Peace and best wishes

Leonie Burfield
