Honouring the love and wisdom of our grandparents
We were delighted to welcome our grandparents to campus for our annual Grandparents’ Day celebrations. The occasion began with a vibrant performance by our Senior School Marimba bands, after which our Grade 7 leadership pupils warmly ushered grandparents to their tables for tea and entertainment.
The highlight of the morning was watching their mini Marist grandchildren shine on stage. Each class performed with joy, followed by the entire Pre-Primary joining together in songs that celebrated grandparents, peace and South Africa. Our Foundation Phase Choir added their beautiful voices, offering grandparents a glimpse of the exciting next chapter their grandchildren will enter at St Joseph’s.
Families also spent meaningful time together in the classrooms, taking part in activities that highlighted the special bond between grandparents and grandchildren. This tradition strengthens our family spirit and sense of togetherness that lies at the heart of our Marist community.
At St Joseph’s Marist College, we deeply value the love, wisdom and kindness that grandparents bring into our learners’ lives, and we are proud to celebrate their role in shaping our Marist family.
