Today, the children enjoyed a meaningful excursion to Villa Dalmacia Aged Care Facility, where they experienced the joy of connecting with members of the wider community.
What the children gained from this experience
1.) Developed confidence and independence while travelling on the Sonas bus and participating in a community outing.
2.) Strengthened their communication and social skills through conversations, smiles, and interactions with the residents.
3.) Built empathy, respect, and an understanding of the importance of forming connections across generations.
4.) Experienced a sense of belonging and contribution within the community.
Friendship Tree Collaboration
1.) The children worked alongside the residents to create a shared “Friendship Tree.”
2.) They explored creativity and fine motor skills while making personalised leaves with their names.
3.) The collaborative artwork symbolised the friendships and meaningful relationships formed during the visit and will remain displayed within the facility to celebrate these connections.
