Mother’s Day Reflection and Breakfast

Thank you to everyone who came along to our annual Mother’s Day Reflection and Breakfast held at each campus last week.

Melton Campus

Cobblebank Campus

In the lead up to the celebrations, students were asked to describe their favourite memory of their mother, grandmother or significant female figure in their lives.

Below are some of their responses:

“My mum always goes to work and comes back after school. Even though she is tired and exhausted, she gets up and cooks in the kitchen. I love my mum for how caring she is, no matter what.”

“When I was younger, I used to love playing dress up. I learnt this from Mum. Although, this particular day I was wearing an orange and black cultural dress and decided that I wanted to show my mum how cute I looked and wanted to do her makeup, to make her look extra special. However, three-year-old me did not use actual makeup; rather, I used the chalk that I used to play outside with. I remember breaking the chalk up and doing my mum’s makeup, with pink rosy cheeks, green eyeshadow and blue lipstick. Mum allowed me to put it everywhere. It's still one of my favourite memories to this day, mum and I bonding over cute dresses and chalk makeup.”

“My favourite memories of my mum are when we spent time with each other.”

“A favourite memory of my mother and me is from the times when I was little, and my mother would travel to multiple areas with me and we would take photos and explore new places in Australia.”

“My favourite memory with my mum is when we went to the circus. We couldn't stop laughing because the clown was so funny and weird.”

“Going on a rollercoaster together!”

“When I was feeling very bad after I lost a cricket match, my mum stood by me all the way and we ended up making it to the grand finals.”

“When my mum and I had a girls' day together, we went to the movies, went shopping and got our nails done.”

“Going on holidays and cooking together.”
