Grandparents’ Day

On Wednesday, 14th September the College recognised the contribution Grandparents make to the lives of our students. The Year 7 students met their Grandparents and gave them a tour of the College. This included a welcome by the College Principal, Mr Marshall and a viewing of the Art Exhibition, as well as visiting the Year 7 classrooms where Grandparents engaged with the students about what school was like back in their day. They also observed classes in the Paul Rafter Centre as well as taking in the sights of Irene McCormack Catholic College. Thank you to Mr Kevin O’Brien, Head of Religious Education and Mrs Michelle Smith, Dean of Year 7 for their organisation of this special event. It was a pleasure to have the Grandparents visit our College and we will welcome them back at any time.
