Grandparents Day
Grandparents Day at Gundaroo will be celebrated on Friday 24th October. It is an opportunity for us to recognise the importance of the role of grandparents within the family and community. We hope to be able to share ‘school stories’ and afternoon tea with these wonderful people. (COTA’s official day is Sunday, 26th October). We ask for grandparents to come in at 1.30pm to have a chat with a small group to discuss what school was like in their day. At 2.00pm the grandchildren will guide their grandparents around the school. At 2.30pm the Year 6 children will serve the grandparents afternoon tea.

someone who would like the information please contact us ASAP. Orders need to be in by 13th November.
