    Description

    Wednesday 9 July 2025: Art for a Cause

    Today the children will create art pieces for residents at a retirement village.  The course will be held at St Andrew's Village in Glendowie where the children will be introduced to some of the residents and talk to them about their lives, their history, their passions and their families. They will use this information  with the assistance of their teacher to turn their discoveries into art works which will be presented to the residents at the end of the day. A truly magical day!

    What to bring

    Lunch, snacks and a drink bottle.
