IMPORTANT UPDATE: 2023 Canterbury Mother’s Day Breakfast | 6:45am – 8:45am, Friday 12 May @ Our Yalburru Café Precinct

Dear All,

Thanks for the HUGE response to our event invitation below.

With 469 guests in 2021 and 550 guests in 2022, we are breaking new ground at 749 RSVPed guests already as at 2pm today – Thursday 4 May!

With this much bigger number in mind, unfortunately we have to cap the event at 800 guests for catering, space and budgetary reasons, and to deliver a quality service event for all attendees.

5:30PM UPDATE: This event is now fully booked out!

If ANY parents, carers, siblings or students are no longer attending, please email Canterbury’s Communications Director Stephen Buckley with your booking name/s, so he can remove your reservation/s and help some other (hopeful) Canterbury parents sitting on the event waiting list – THANK YOU! EMAIL –

We are also pleased to announce we now have gifts for the first 300 Mums, based on the overwhelming response to our annual breakfast.

Finally, to avoid the situation where students are queuing for Boost Juice or Gourmet Coffee Van beverages independently of this event, all Canterbury students will need to present a ticket to these vendors to be served.

These tickets can ONLY be collected by entering the event with your mother or parent or carer – at which time your FREE ticket will be given to you.

It is our Mother’s Day Breakfast afterall, so we really want our students coming along and sitting with their Mum or parent/s or carer/s, and saying thanks for everything they do.

Of course, Mums, parents, carers and any non-Canterbury siblings don’t require a ticket – just current Canterbury students obviously wearing their school uniform.

We look forward to seeing you all on Friday morning 12 May!
