Here’s a look back at our wonderful summer. A Festive December Our terraces came alive with decorations, carols, and the sweet melodies of the St Justin’s Youth Ministry Choir and primary students. A highlight of the season was a visit from model train and steam train enthusiasts. Creativity flourished in our wreath-making workshop and the excitement of Christmas Pass the Parcel brought plenty of laughter. Residents also delighted in Christmas movies, a cheerful happy hour, and a magical night touring the local Christmas lights while singing along to classic c arols. Welcoming the New Year We rang in 2025 with music and celebration, thanks to fantastic performances from Alex Matthews, Laurel McKenna, and Jack the Music Man. As we settled into the new year, residents embraced the spirit of summer with cricket, croquet, and our ever-growing morning walking group. Happy Hour continued to be a favourite, with live entertainment keeping spirits high. January also brought dance and movement to our community, with Elvis and Steph Renouf getting everyone on their feet. Chair Tai Chi with Chris offered a more relaxing way to stay active, while Baruch’s sessions provided soothing moments of reflection. Crafting, poetry, and book reading Community Happenings
added to the vibrant mix of activities, and our Australia Day celebrations were filled with music, games, and a delicious BBQ. The festivities wrapped up with a lively concert featuring Laura singing hits from The Seekers and “Coxy the Singing Cowboy” entertaining us with Aussie classics. A Heartfelt February We celebrated the Chinese Lunar New Year with beautiful dancing and a stunning performance by Steph Renouf. Our residents explored the wonders of New Zealand through an engaging armchair travel session. A special afternoon was spent reminiscing with family at our “Hear My Story” event, where residents captured cherished memories in a keepsake book. Music and movement continued to bring joy, with drumming sessions by Jose, a harp recital by Susan Graham, and performances from Margaret Dennis, Steph Renouf, and Baruch. Valentine’s Day was filled with love and romance as Laurel McKenna, Jack the Music Man, Lorenzo, and Alex Matthews serenaded us with timeless love songs. We ended the season with vibrant painting and crafting sessions, more active games and exercise classes, and a delightful movement-to-music session with Eliza. Here’s to a wonderful autumn ahead!
