Grandmothers, aunties, and significant mothering figures including teachers and coaches are also showered with gifts and cards to thank them for their caring and nurturing moments.
Early Learning centres and kindergarten’s typically send special arts and crafts home with their students to eagerly present on Mother’s Day, while most primary schools in conjunction with their parents and friends committees will be setting up traditional Mother’s Day gift stalls with an emphasis on selling affordable but practical and innovative gifts. Broadford Secondary College is not passing up the opportunity for their Victorian Certificate of Adult Learning curriculum (VCAL) students to practice their culinary skills and bake up a storm and later serve everyone invited to afternoon tea.
Sporting clubs with fixtures across Sunday, May 11 ensure the significance of the day is not lost with a rose presentation in the clubrooms prior to their games.
Residential Aged Care facilities are able to host traditional high tea’s with delicate sandwiches and scones with cream and jam, on the actual day.
While most will mark the occasion with their caregivers, thousands of Australians come together to register for the Mother’s Day Classic.
In Seymour this year, a 5km walk or run, or 10km run is planned to bring unity and inspire the community with an event to raise awareness and funds for breast and ovarian cancer research.
Everyone is invited to register for the event and to check in at the Lions Park by 9am on Sunday, May 11.
Children under 3 are free and do not require a registration. To learn more visit, www.mothersdayclassic.com.au/event/mothers-day-classic-seymour.
