PFA Family Afternoon Tea

The weather may have dampened last Friday’s Parents and Friends Association Family Afternoon Tea at Mona Vale, but not the spirits.
An afternoon of celebration with laughter, and a few delicious treats.
An afternoon of celebration with laughter, and a few delicious treats.

As the heavens opened, a number of brave and slightly soggy St Margaret's families ran the gauntlet to celebrate togetherness, laughter, and a few delicious treats.

The event kicked off with warm scones, lashings of jam and cream, and was soon followed by elegant tiers of finger sandwiches, sweets, and high tea favourites.  A highlight of the afternoon was a light-hearted game played by a mother-daughter duo from Years 12 and 13, alongside Principal Mrs Patchett and her 90-year-old mum, Joan. Joan had the crowd in stitches with her spirited energy and candid admission that her ideal job is to one day run a pub.

The laughter, connection, and community displayed made it a truly memorable afternoon. We look forward to doing it all again as we celebrate Mother’s Day next year.
