2020 Fathers and Special Person's Day
Virtual Art Exhibition
Dear Families,
This presentation of artwork is a small sample of the creative thinking that our students have been doing through our remote learning program. This wonderful collection reflects the resilience of our students in the way they have adapted Art, which is a practical, hands-on subject to be successful in their home environment.
Thank you for all the support of your children's artistic learning through this time. Together, this partnership with you has helped to foster curiosity and to develop young creatives with clear, articulate and innovative ideas.
So, as we celebrate another special event in a different way and to make it extra special, we bring you a Virtual Art Show to share on this day. Please explore the site and enjoy St Anthony’s students' artwork and videos. You may even like to play some of the Father’s Day Games! So without further ado enjoy!
Mrs Rowley and the St Anthony's Team :)
Father’s Day
As we near this most auspicious day,
When we celebrate fathers in the most lovely way,
We are called to reflect on the ways of a dad,
And all of those moments that many of us have had,
Of love and dedication, of teaching us things,
Like changing a tyre and technical things,
Like checking the oil in your brand new car,
Like that time when he came to rescue you from afar,
Like countless occasions when he sat to teach you things,
Like holding you close and the comfort that brings,
Like holding your hand on your hardest day,
And that time he chased the monsters away,
And every single time when you let him down,
And he’d still have your back and drive you around town,
He’s the king of castle,
He does dad jokes on cue,
He’s the master of the barbecue,
He champions the road trip,
And he loves a home cooked dinner,
He’s passionate about his kids,
To his kids he is a winner!
Without our dads and father figures wherever would we be?
Without the guiding influence of a stepdad or grandee?
Of an uncle or a brother or a treasured family friend,
A guiding fatherly role model of any type or blend?
We absolutely love them whatever form they come in,
They are simply unforgettable, precious, loving, stunning,
Happy, happy Father’s Day to every one who dad’s,
Happy, happy father’s day to all our lovely lads!!!
With love to all of our families on Father’s Day 2020 together, some apart, many separated by country, by state, some already gone, many just not able to visit. We are with you. We are thinking of you.
