During the past term, our Year 3 students have been on a journey to discover what makes life truly special. We turned to the Bible for inspiration and cooked up our own special recipe for a happy life. We mixed in some of the Fruits of the Spirit, stirred in the 10 Commandments, and added a sprinkle of the Beatitudes. What we found out was that showing kindness and lending a hand to those who need it not only makes us happy but also makes the world a better place.

To put our newfound wisdom to the test, we embarked on an exciting adventure to the Ningana Retirement Village. Here, we had an absolute blast. We shared thoughtful gifts with the residents, performed our eisteddfod poem and had meaningful conversations with the elderly residents to uncover the secrets of a fulfilling life. We were also lucky enough to enjoy some wonderful songs from an older gentleman under the shade of the trees while sharing afternoon tea. When we left, the residents were beaming with joy, and our students came back home with hearts full of warmth and gratitude for this incredible experience that touched their lives. We hope this inspires both students and parents to continue spreading kindness and happiness wherever they go.
