The weather was amazing, the decorations splendid, the menu was just like being at a game and of course, having our dads come to serve lunch made this a very special day . . . as well as a visit from two of the Canterbury Bulldogs, Greg Eastwood and Brad Abbey who spent four hours playing sport with the children, signing autographs and smiling for endless selfies - thank you.
Thank you so much to all the dads who came not only to serve lunch but to warm up, set up and pack up: David Ould, Peter Flanagan, Andrew Wilkinson, Chris Hagipantelis, Deepak Maini, George Khoury, Dom Currao, Jim Strounis, Simon Payet, Robert Sabongi, Jason Mikosic, Brett Goodbun, Alex Garrido, Mark Devine, Khan Groube, Raymond Conrad, Geoff Pollitt, Quinto Pallone, Rony Isaac, Robert Veleski, Simeon Ofidis, Antony Elazzi and Anthony Rumble. We are sure some new business connections were made on the day too!
Athletes Foot also came along and set up a 'pass the ball' activity and footwear display for the students and Dads - great to have you involved in this event - thank you Paul. Our TAP Football Coach, Sonny, also set up some fun balls skills activities which were a bit hit with the Junior School students.
Heartfelt thanks also to the MRK (Mrs Riitano's Kitchen) Team, without whom the day would not have been possible - thank you for all you do to keep us well fed every day but especially for Dads' Day in MRK!
We loved having our dads volunteer at school for the day and we are already planning the next event ... get your Hawaiian shirts and hibiscus ready! More information to follow shortly. Enquiries: Mrs Jo Hutchens, Director of Marketing, Enrolments and Community Relations E: [email protected]
