Lifestyle Activities Page

The Lifestyle team and residents have been busy. To start the year off residents celebrated Australia Day
with a BBQ, cooked by the volunteers and lifestyle staff. In January we also celebrated Elvis Presley’s
Birthday with a karaoke afternoon singing some of his songs, and we were privileged to have Elvis
impersonator himself Mr Chris Yuen preform for us.

February has seen residents celebrate St Valentine’s Day with a High Tea, and residents decorated hearts in
craft. Also in February we celebrated Chinese New Year with a themed happy hour. Residents help make 5
paper dragon posters to put around the facility.

In March we will be celebrating St Patrick’s Day. We also are looking forward to the KWM band performing
for us. We are celebrating Easter late in March with a visit from the Easter Bunny. Also in March we will be
having a visit from ARAS the Aged Rights Advocacy Service who will be giving a talk to residents and also to
staff.

March also sees the start of the AFL football season, so Robyn will again be running a residents football
                                                                    i
