GRANDPARENTS’ DAY
FRIDAY 21 MARCH
WELCOME FROM THE HEADMASTER
Dear Grandparents,
Thank you for being here today with your grandchildren. Your presence in their lives is a gift—one that shapes who they are and who they will become.
The world your grandchildren are growing up in looks very different from the one you knew as a child. Yet, it is the oldfashioned values you share that will help them navigate an ever-changing world. Your influence equips them with the confidence and character to face life’s challenges and grow into mature, compassionate, and responsible adults.
Thank you for investing in your grandchildren. They are incredibly fortunate to have you in their lives.
Warm regards,
Ben Skeen Headmaster
