Mother Daughter High Tea Parent Reflections:

 

"We waited with great anticipation for the Mothers Day High Tea, ensuring that we got our tickets early.  The day came and none of us were disappointed, particular mention to Miss Tanginoa who welcomed us all in native tongue, a welcome that gave us goosebumps.  

 

I attended with my daughter Stephanie, her Aunty Liz and Gran. The food served was absolutely divine and the cups of tea and coffee that were 'on tap' were just as nice served with a smile. The lovely entertainment provided by Daryl and Harmony was enjoyed by all.  It was great to catch up with some other mums and staff and have such a beautiful opportunity to 'play ladies', thanks to all of the P and F organisers and we can't wait until next year".
Anne-Marie Nott - Parent

 

"The 'Mother Daughter High Tea' was an enjoyable way to spend last Saturday afternoon, with grandmothers, mothers, daughters, aunts, sisters, cousins and friends attending. The Mary Sheil Centre was filled to capacity, as the high tea was a sell out again this year. It is always nice to catch up with those you may not have seen, all that often, during the year.  


Our family has attended this event every year, since it started and have seen it grow from a small gathering to the success it is today. It is a credit to Jodi's original idea, the support of the P & F and St Patrick's Staff, who again produced another deluxe setting in which to enjoy the food, beverages and fantastic entertainment, which this year was the father-daughter team of Darryl and Harmony Lovegrove. We were to hear them sing some of the most wonderful songs from the stage and screen, a real delight. 

The other entertainment for the afternoon was a 'Movie Guessing Competition' between the tables and a raffle with some great prizes. There was also some great stalls for purchasing some last minute gifts, or for mums to buy themselves something special and cupcake decorating which the girls enjoyed, decorating cakes for their mums.

Of course, I can't say enough about the delicious food we were served, both savoury and sweet, hot and cold.  There was something yummy for everyone to enjoy. Thanks to all the dads, sons and brothers, who volunteered to wait on the tables, making sure we all had plenty of hot tea and coffee. 

The afternoon was another memorable event in this year's busy school calendar.  Well done and thank you to all those involved, I know all our family enjoyed themselves".
