Grandparents and Grand-Friends Afternoon

Date: Friday 25 July
Time: 2:00pm - 3:00pm
Venue: Barrie Holmes Stadium, White Avenue, Mount Gambier, South Australia, 5290

Pope Francis established a World Day for Grandparents and the Elderly, which takes place on the Sunday closest to the Feast of Saints Joachim and Anne, the Grandparents of Jesus. He announced this day to celebrate the importance of grandparents to family life, and how grandparents and the elderly are a value and a gift both for society and for Church communities. 

The MacKillop Junior School Grandparents and Grand-Friends afternoon will be taking place on Friday 25 July.

We ask that Grandparents and Grand-Friends gather in the Barrie Holmes Stadium at 2.00pm where tea and coffee will be available. Following a short prayer service, Grandparents and Grand-Friends will be guided to classrooms to visit their young people.

Tenison Woods College respectfully acknowledges the Boandik people are the First Nations people of the Mount Gambier South Eastern region of South Australia and pay respect to all Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people, past, present and emerging.
