Clayfield College Mother’s Day Stall 

(Run by the Friends of Primary Group)

It is that time of year again – Mother’s Day is fast approaching! Our Friends of Primary Mother’s Day Stall will be held on Thursday 5 May. 

There will be a huge selection of beautiful gifts available and we are sure our students will find something perfect for their special loved ones. The Friends of Primary have been working hard to find a range of wonderful gifts for mothers, grandmothers, aunties, carers and special friends. 

Gifts are priced at $5, $10 and $15. All funds raised will go towards the Friends of Primary Group initiatives. Primary students will be taken to the stall during the day by their teachers and will have their teachers and parent volunteers help them with their shopping. 

Students are to bring shopping money to school in a named envelope, which will be collected by their class teacher at the start of the day. They will be handed back to the student when attending the stall, and any change will be returned for safekeeping. Children will take their change and gifts home at the end of the day. 

Please see the images below displaying some examples of gifts available to purchase. We can’t wait to see the big smiles and excitement as the students choose their special gifts in preparation for Mother’s Day!
