Ahead of Mother s Day on Sunday, the kids were expressing what mum means to them and what their plans are for Mother s Day. “I love my Mum to the galaxies and back,” Oliver Dight (6) said. “She reads me a book every night, and she s really beautiful and kind.”

Richmond View School founder Ian Bilby, centre, marked the 40th anniversary of the school with principal Dave Pauling, left, and Elim Christian Centre senior pastor Tom Hatch on Thursday.
It is rare for the founder of a school to attend a 40th anniversary celebration, but Richmond View School founder Ian Bilby expressed his delight on Thursday at being witness to the fruit of the seed he planted. “It’s a joy to be here today and see the ongoing development of a seed that was planted in my heart many years ago,” Bilby said. “Everything does begin with a seed. Someone said any fool can count how many seeds are in an apple, but only God knows how many apples there are in a seed.”
