“The event takes place before school hours, allowing fathers to enjoy a BBQ and spend quality time playing with their children,” Ms Wilson told NOTA.

The school’s Principal, Rick Galvin told News Of The Area, “Our Father’s Day breakfast is a very important celebration for us here at St Joseph’s.

“The day offers a meaningful opportunity for the school to acknowledge the vital role fathers and father figures play in supporting and enriching the lives of our students.

“Our community really supports this event and we value the community being part of our school,” Principal Galvin told NOTA.

For Shay and Avaya Lobston, having their dad present at school for the celebrations was a special experience.

It was also an opportunity for them to beat him on the handball court.

Ben Lobston, dad to Shay and Avaya, spoke to the benefits of the celebration.

“Today is a great way for dads to spend some time with their kids and to see what they get up to at school before the bell,” he said.

North Haven Public School’s P&C Association also organised a Father’s Day breakfast last Friday morning.

Dads, stepdads, grandads, uncles, brothers and other father figures came together to enjoy croissants, bacon and egg rolls and freshly brewed coffee as a celebration of the significant contributions these men make in kids’ lives.
