Community Happenings Winter
Celebrations & Milestones Winter was filled with special birthdays, including many joyful resident celebrations and the remarkable 100th birthday of Paddy, who inspired us all with her grace and humility. Every birthday brought cake, laughter and plenty of cheer. National and international occasions also had their moment, with a regal King’s Birthday Brunch, a JAWS 50th anniversary movie night, and a sweet celebration of International Chocolate Day— complete with a trip to the Yarra Valley Chocolaterie, chocolate competitions, and a screening of Willy Wonka. A highlight was the first Disco Night, filled with dancing and live music to boogie to!
Honouring Our People Holmwood proudly recognised its dedicated staff this season. Peter and Gurleen were celebrated as Employees of the Month, while Aged Care Employee Day saw the whole team thanked with a BBQ lunch, heartfelt words and well-deserved appreciation. Staff profiles of Megan and Sarah offered a glimpse into the caring
people who make Holmwood a warm, welcoming place. Meanwhile, the Men’s Shed program was relaunched, giving residents the chance to plan woodworking projects, share skills, and connect through hands-on creativity with Frank, our maintenance man.
