Retirement village visits appreciated

Once a term, Kindergarten students and teachers from Woy Woy Public School have visited the Living Choice Deepwater Court Retirement Village across the road from the school.

The children have sung Christmas Carols, paraded their Easter hats and made Mothers' Day cards with the residents.

Ms Thea Brayshaw, a resident of Deepwater Court and the primary point of contact between the school and the village, said: "Woy Woy Public School's Kindergarten children are just beautiful, are well-behaved and a credit to their school and teachers.

"The residents always look forward to their next visit."

Schol principal, Ms Ona Buckley said "We are very proud of the relationship we've been able to establish and cultivate with the residents of the village and of the fact that our students are able to spread goodwill and establish positive relationships out there in the local community."

As a gesture of his appreciation, Living Choice Australia general manager Mr Tim Bentley attended Woy Woy Public School's special Education Week assembly and presented a cheque for $1000.
