Happy Father’s Day
As we celebrate Father’s Day, let’s take a moment to appreciate the unique role fathers play in our lives. They are our first heroes, our biggest supporters, and often, our go-to problem solvers. They teach us through their actions, showing us the value of hard work, the importance of integrity, and the joy of laughter. Today, we honour the fathers, stepfathers, grandfathers, and father figures who have shaped our school community with their wisdom, patience, and love. Happy Father’s Day to all the dads who help make our world a better place, one child at a time
