Students from our school visited the residents of The Darlington Retirement Community on Thursday 15th September. The members of the school AFL team were able to display their new uniforms, and choir members sang a selection of songs from the recent, highly praised school musical, "Peter Pan".
Residents welcomed our students with great enthusiasm, and the children enjoyed mixing with the senior citizens, sharing stories and talking to many different people. It was a wonderful experience for our students and parents, and an opportunity for them to help bring extra happiness into the lives of elderly citizens. We thank the parents and staff who assisted with transport.
Residents from Darlington Retirement Community will attend a Terranora Public School AFL match next week.
Terranora Public School teaches its students values which encompass service and empathy for others. Activities such as this enable students to view the world in a broader sense, and to develop an awareness and understanding of their community.
