This afternoon, the whole Prep Department came together on the lawn for a very special event in support of Brain Tumour Research – a cause that means a great deal to us here at Bridgewater.
With the sun shining and spirits high, it couldn’t have been a better day for our Mad Hatter’s Tea Party. The children’s hats were full of colour and creativity, bringing so much personality and joy to the occasion. Mr. Rooney was the perfect master of ceremonies as our children enjoyed cakes and drinks and games on the front lawn.
Thanks to the kindness and generosity of our school community, every penny raised will go directly to Brain Tumour Research, helping to fund their vital work.
A huge thank you to everyone who got involved. It was a truly uplifting afternoon, filled with fun, laughter, and a strong sense of togetherness.

















































I thought the tea party was wonderful and the games were fun and the snacks were good I was pleased that it was for a good cause.

I enjoyed this so so much it was so much fun and it was so good to raise money for brain tumers. I loved all the games and winning prises. The food was good and my favoured was the chocolate covered waffle with wiped creem. It was a great time to get out of class and it was so sunny.

I really enjoyed being part of the tea party because it was for a charity close to my family. I enjoyed the party games and doing the worm on the floor!

I really enjoyed wearing my hat today, it was really fun playing the games and I really enjoyed it. The game musical bums made my legs ache (even now)! Well done to the two winners, their hats were amazing so were everyone else’s. I had an amazing day.

I loved this. The food and drinks were amazing, the games were fun, and the overall experience with the music, refreshments, and just the opportunity to have fun with friends was something I really enjoyed. Nikolas enjoyed it as well.

I loved the Mad Hatter’s tea party and I think everyone had amazing hats. I enjoyed playing musical statues and musical bumps and just dancing in general. I had such an amazing afternoon and I think it was a lovely idea of Mrs.White’s.
