Fostering an intergenerational relationship

St John the Baptist Catholic Primary School Woy Woy is "fostering an intergenerational relationship" between students at the school and residents at the neighbouring at Hillview House Aged Care facility.

"Cross-generational moments have great benefit to everyone involved," said school principal Ms Nicole Davies.

"For older generations, it provides an opportunity for continued engagement with the wider community.

"For our younger generations, it offers wisdom well beyond their own life experiences, and fosters stronger empathy and community connections."

Ms Davies said that last week Year 4 students prepared invention ideas to present to their neighbours, including a machine that measured how funny jokes were and a walking aid that had 4WD turbo wheels.

"Our Year 6 students prepared questions to interview our neighbours.

"We are thrilled to be reconnecting with Hillview House.

"Our students absolutely love these moments with our neighbours, and act with great respect when visiting.

"Students of all ages will have the opportunity to visit this year for discussions like this, or special events," Ms Davies said.
