2023 Mother’s Day Breakfast - Bookings Open

The most anticipated event of the year is almost here!

For the first time, the Parents and Friends Committee will be running this event across both of our Campuses, which will ensure as many of our families as possible have an opportunity to attend.

In previous years, the event has sold out within days of being advertised. Due to capacity limits at both Campuses, the event will initially exclusively be open to Year 7 and 12 families. 

Our two Mother’s Day Breakfasts will take place on the following dates:

Mentone Campus

Tuesday 9 May, 6.45 - 8.00am

(Year 7 and 12 families only)

Bentleigh East Campus 

Thursday 11 May, 6.45 - 8.00am

(Year 7 families only)

Book here > https://events.humanitix.com/be-mothersday-2023

This year, the Parents and Friends Committee are honoured to be hosting guest speaker, Liz Dawes OAM, Founder of the Robert Connor Dawes Foundation (RCD), who will be joining us for both events. 

RCD Foundation’s flagship event, Connor’s Run, has become the country’s biggest campaign for paediatric brain cancer, with over $7.7 million raised to date. Liz has been crucial in lobbying the Federal Government to secure funding for paediatric brain cancer, which kills more young people than any other disease.

In acknowledgement of her efforts, Liz was awarded an Order of Australia Medal (OAM) in 2022, was a nominee for Australian of the Year in 2017, named in the AFR’s 100 Women of Influence in 2018, recognised as Electoral Division of Goldstein’s Local Hero in 2016, and received the Australia Day Award for Bayside Citizen of the Year in 2015. 

This event sells out promptly each year, so we cannot stress this enough; please book your tickets as soon as possible to avoid disappointment (links above).
