Family Dinner 1983

In 1983 Marian College held a pilot scheme to help build community. Staff reached out to families, visiting them in their homes, then inviting them to attend a Family Dinner at the College.

We’d like to visit you! We, the teachers of Marian College, would like to get to know you better not only as parents of our students, but as members of the community of West Sunshine. We would like to do this by visiting you over the next few weeks and have decided to start our programme in on particular area. With your help we hope this will be the beginning of a successful programme. You will be contacted soon and asked if we may visit you and arrange a suitable time. We look forward to seeing you!

Here are photos from the first Family Dinner held 14 September 1983, showing some of the families and staff members who took part.

It's a long time since College events have started with a sherry!
