St Anthony’s School for Boys was delighted to host our Grandparents’ Afternoon Tea Party on Tuesday 4 October. As the grandparents and their grandsons tucked into the tasty tea, they were entertained with music recitals from our Senior House boys. The afternoon was a great success and thoroughly enjoyed by all.
It is so important to honour our grandparents, to give grandparents an opportunity to show love for their children’s children, and to help children become aware of the strength, information, and guidance older people can offer. It was a great privilege for me to take the opportunity to recognise the very positive influence they have on their grandchildren. Their ability alone to put life into perspective and offer inspiration, often our young people most need it, is invaluable to say the least. Thinking back to my grandparents, I recall their innate ability to impart such wisdom and advice based on some extraordinary life experience; knowledge of which I continue to call on.
Thank you to everyone who was able to join us on Tuesday afternoon!
