We are excited to inform you that Curro Mount Richmore is upping the ante come 15 May 2021. Through our extensive school Expo, jam-packed with intellectual and informative activities, you will be exposed to a collection of unique experiences and the true essence the Curro family exudes.
Without any delay, jumping into what you can expect on the programme. Renowned Georgina Thornell, aka Rocking Mama, will be conducting her inspirational parenting talk. Thornell’s passion is to restore families from a place of turmoil to where they can live happily together, in peace and harmony—raising children who are respectful, responsible and resilient.
The Expo also includes fascinating Science experiments for children to get involved with. Learn how to program a robot in the Robotics Lab, and those with a love for gaming will have the opportunity to try their hand at our eSports Minecraft. Enjoy some sunshine at our golf driving competition with prizes up for grabs. The Curro rugby dad’s rugby team invites you to play a game of touch rugby with them on the day.
