SCS Kindy teacher, former student reunite on Mother’s Day TV special
There were plenty of surprises during filming of a Mother’s Day TV special at St Francis de Sales Catholic Primary School Woolooware this week.
Students and a beloved teacher took centre stage during filming of a Mother’s Day segment for national Channel 9 TV show, TODAY, on Tuesday.
Weather presenter Tim Davies – himself a St Francis de Sales alumnus – asked students questions about their mums. But what the kids didn’t know was that their emotional mums would later watch what the unabashed students responded with.
And what Mr Davies couldn’t know is that he’d also be reunited with his former Kindy teacher during filming.
Just, wow.
Gratitude overflows
Asked what she thought of Mum, Year 4 pupil Darcey Dolden, commented: “She looks after me a lot and she does funny dance moves.”

There was also some light-hearted banter between Darcey and her two siblings, Emilie and Grace, about who was Mum’s favourite child.
“Deep down I think Mum likes us all the same, cause we all have different personalities and we’re all good,” Darcey said laughing.
Proud mum, Amie Dolden, later remarked that she liked “that they were saying that they’re thankful for things that I didn’t realise that they were thankful for.”
“It’s cool,” Ms Dolden added. “The kids will remember it forever. It’s really nice.”
