Community Happenings Spring
Artistic Expression The spring art exhibition in October showcased what we’ve been creating - paintings, photography, quilting, drawings, colouring pieces and woodwork from the Men’s Shed. Residents, families and staff were amazed by the range of work on display. Regular craft sessions filled afternoons throughout spring. Sensory button craft with Hollie brought relaxation and creativity. Petrie Wing residents decorated Arnott’s biscuits with homemade icing in whatever colours caught their eye. Gardens and Outdoor Spaces Garden Group kept us connected to the outdoors throughout spring. Planting marigolds and snapdragons in recycled mugs on sunny mornings gave us reasons to be outside, hands in soil, chatting while we worked. Later, the planter boxes got filled with colourful blooms. The garden gnomes that appeared in the courtyard in November got the laughs they deserved. They’ve made themselves right at home among the plants. Community Outings Thursday bus trips took us out throughout spring. Strathpine Central for coffee and doughnuts, then on to North Pine Dam, topped off with ice cream. The Sands Social Sandgate for morning melodies, music and lunch. Strathpine Library for browsing books and playing with the interactive laser projector, then a scenic drive to Dayboro with ice cream. Norths Leagues Club for lunch. Seafood Town at Woody Point for fish and chips and a walk along the jetty. The destinations changed but the Thursday trips remained favourites.
