In what has become a tradition over many years, Cornerstone’s classes of Kindy students have participated in a Dads Only Night in the lead-up to Father’s Day.

Each year as we approach this celebration of Fatherhood, the Kindy classes collectively return at night, with their Dads or other significant males in tow.  The aim is to allow many Fathers, who otherwise don’t get to step into the classroom, to get to interact with their child in a range of activities.  Over the past two nights, Dads and children have been seen constructing items out of wood, painting, completing puzzles, exploring the temporary in-room castle,  and even drawing on the interactive white-board together.  As well as sharing a special supper that was on offer, the grown-ups also got the chance to look through their child’s portfolio.

This lovely tradition is always incredibly popular, and gives us at Cornerstone the chance to say ‘Well done’ to the Fathers in each student’s life.  The value that these significant men have in the development of each child cannot be over-stated, and on this occasion, we love having the opportunity to provide a chance for further interaction and engagement.

To each Dad -  Happy Father’s Day.  We hope you feel incredibly valued.

For the first time, two classes of Kindy students have resulted in the traditional Dads Only Kindy Nights making a dual appearance as well.

In what has become an annual event at Cornerstone, the Year 1 students invited their Dads along to a very special afternoon tea.

Each year, in the week leading up to Father’s Day, these College youngesters get to share the classroom with their Dads and shower them with food and gifts whilst they are there.

Mrs Audrey Sully and her team of very capable assistants have helped the students prepare for this event. Together they have been busy making cards, gifts and setting up tables. 

After presenting their completed creations, the children were encouraged to serve their Dads some food and a drink as a way of thanking them for the love they show.  24 hot cups of tea and coffee were successfully delivered without incident!

One Dad flew in from his job only ten minutes before the afternoon tea, yet still managed to make it – to the delight of his very grateful daughter.  That’s what being a Dad is all about!

The College is thrilled with the number of men who were able to take time away from their jobs and businesses to share this special afternoon with their children.  A sensational event.

Cornerstone Christian College has turned some much deserved attention towards the Dads of students this week.

In time to celebrate Father’s Day, a flurry of activity has been happening around the College with gift making and special events.

Two classes have invited their Dads to come along to school and participate in the fun.

Mrs Saw’s Kindy class hosted its annual ”Dads Only Night”, which had every student bringing along a special Dad or significant man for an hour of activities and play.  Colouring, painting, creating and even dressing up was on the agenda for the evening and the event was an enormous success.   Each guest was presented with a special handmade gift that is sure to bring delight come Father’s Day morning.

Not to be outdone, the Year 1 students hosted an afternoon tea on Friday for their Dads.  Under Miss Veitch’s guidance, the students set up tables, made food and presented the special men in their lives with a gift as well.

Other class groups also were busy making gifts to give, and many are sure to bring a smile to the recipients.

Father’s Day is the special day in which the entire nation says to its fathers “Thank you for all the important contributions you are making.”  We are Cornerstone wish to celebrate this too.
