Year 6A students from Our Lady of Lourdes Catholic School recently had the wonderful opportunity to visit residents at Palms Aged Care to celebrate Mother’s Day together, enjoying a morning filled with kindness, connection and community spirit.

In the lead-up to the visit, students thoughtfully prepared handmade Mother’s Day flowers and cards for the ladies, along with special cards and small gifts for the gentlemen. Residents were delighted by the students’ generosity and creativity, and the morning was marked by many shared smiles.

A highlight for students was spending time chatting with residents and listening to stories about families, childhoods and treasured memories. Students also enjoyed discovering unexpected connections with residents’ families and local community members, creating meaningful moments that will be remembered fondly by all involved.

The visit included time with therapy dogs, bringing plenty of joy and excitement. Students also had the privilege of assisting with a special morning tea, wearing gloves and hair nets as they helped serve residents. Afterwards, students sat alongside residents to enjoy morning tea together, continuing conversations and building new friendships.

A special thank you to the school Chaplain, Mrs Kym Giliberto, for organising the visit, and to the staff at Palms Aged Care for their warm welcome and generous support. Year 6A is already looking forward to returning again soon.
