Father's Day breakfasts

A number of local schools on the Peninsula celebrated the lead up to Father's Day with barbecue breakfasts on Friday, September 2.

Students at Ettalong Public School held a breakfast of sausages, bacon and eggs at 7:30am.

The event concluded with a performance by students from kindergarten to Year 4.

Principal Mr Colin Wallis said the morning had a terrific feel and the performance by the students was touching.

"I did notice some moist eyes in our audience," Mr Wallis said.

Woy Woy South Public School also had a barbecue breakfast on the Friday from 8am, with a local real estate agent helping to cook and serve the breakfast.

Principal Mr Terry Greedy said it was a "Herculean effort" by teachers to organise the event, who did not receive any overtime for their efforts.

"The only reward is the satisfaction their students feel from performing for their families," Mr Greedy said.

Pretty Beach Public School also had a barbecue breakfast.

Staff arrived as early as 6am to ensure the morning's success, said principal Ms Deborah Callendar.

She said it was a great team effort, which was enjoyed by a number of fathers and their children.
