On Thursday 24 July, Damascus College proudly hosted over 250 guests for our Year 7 Grandparents and Grandfriends Day.

The atmosphere was filled with warmth and joy as Grandparents and Grandfriends reunited with smiles, hugs, and genuine excitement, ready to spend a special morning together.

The event began with a beautiful student-led liturgy, complemented by musical performances from our talented students, featuring the harmonious voices of the choir alongside the grand piano and guitar players.

This was followed by formalities, including heartfelt speeches from Year 7 students who shared reflections on their high school journey so far, offering guests a meaningful glimpse into their experiences and highlights. Along with a thanks to grandparents’ speech, expressing gratitude and acknowledging their unique love, support, and influence grandparents bring into their lives.

Guests were then invited to take part in guided campus tours, offering a chance to explore the wonderful facilities available to our students. The morning concluded with a lovely morning tea, which was a perfect opportunity to connect over delicious food and a warm cuppa to end the celebration.

Thank you to our wonderful community who attended the event and made it a memorable Grandparent and Grandfriends day.
