Dear Parents,
You will have received invitations in your child’s pigeon hole for our annual Grandies Day event. This year, due to the redevelopment of our main school auditorium, our schedule for the day has changed significantly. Please see your invitations for details. All students are invited to bring a Grandies for a portion of the morning but only those who would normally attend on that day may stay for the entire day. If Grandparents would like to join us for a portion of our morning on Friday the 11th of September please send RSVP’s to jporter@pac.edu.au
“There is no other relationship like the one between grandparents and their grandchildren. Without the anxiety and pressure of parenthood, but with the wisdom and experience that comes with age, grandparents can be devoted role models and nurturers, enthusiastic playmates, and patient providers of knowledge and reassurance. It is a role that can inspire a strong mix of emotions, from intense joy and fierce pride to all-consuming love.In return, grandchildren allow us to relive the pleasures of childhood. They enable us to see our own children in a new light - and our children, too, discover the parent we have been to them. And no matter how many grandchildren follow the first one, the feelings remain just as powerful - grandparent love is boundless. It is a love affair of a very special kind.”
From: ‘The Book of Grandparents - A celebration of a Very Special Kind of Love' by Tom Keneally and other well-known Australian personalities.
