PSPA Mothers’ Day Lunch

Nicole Roache, Marketing & Advancement Manager

On Friday 2 May, 280 guests from across the school gathered at Club Chin Chin for the PSPA Mothers’ Day Lunch - a vibrant celebration of mothers and carers in our community. The event was a wonderful blend of connection, generosity and good fun.

The sell-out lunch raised $35,000 for Meli’s ROAR and Foster Care programs, supporting vulnerable children and families across our region. ROAR is a 12-week support group for women survivors of family violence co-designed by survivors, and provides a safe and supportive environment for women with a focus on empowerment, equality and safety. Meli’s Foster Care program ensures safe, stable homes for children in need.

Guests enjoyed a delicious banquetstyle lunch, shared stories and laughter, and heard directly from Jesse, a young man who was in foster care from the age of four.

A huge thank you to our Mothers’ Day Lunch committee, silent auction donors and everyone who helped bring it all together - and of course, to our incredible College mums and carers for your ongoing support. Your presence made it more than just lunch; it was a meaningful contribution to brighter futures for local families.
