The 2024 Mother's Day Lunch

The 2024 Mother’s Day Lunch was a true reflection of the incredible community and school spirit we are lucky enough to have at Malvern Primary. Over 200 Mum’s gathered at Caulfield Racecourse on Friday May 10th to enjoy lunch and the afternoon together. This year we had 3 incredible speakers. Our very own Jess Wyer, who brought along representatives from Berry Street and shared with all the women her own special experiences as a foster carer – and brought much needed awareness to our community about the importance of foster care. And Rebecca Bull and Zoe Weir from the podcast Not Super. Woman. who shared an amazing video and spoke candidly about the pressures on Mum’s in our modern day society – and to make sure we are filling our cups too! 

And now drumroll…..the total amount raised for our school from the luncheon was $30,012. We are currently in discussions with the school leaders about an exciting project these funds will be going towards. And of course an event like this doesn’t get off the ground without the help of many. Some special thank you’s…to the school – Robyn, Ben, Cadell, Jeanette & Vicky for their support, as well as all the teachers for assisting with the letters from the children. To Marshall White for your generous donation and Jack Moss for being our Auctioneer on the day. To the entire school community and wider community for all the incredible and amazingly generous donations for our silent and live auction. And a special thank you to the Mother’s Day committee and volunteer parents who generously gave up their time to pull of this wonderful tradition together. And finally! A huge thank you to all the prep parents – well done on a record attendance!! 

Thank you, 

Kristen Gallagher
