Our Year 12 VM students recently organized a heartwarming ‘Christmas in July’ community lunch for the elderly residents of Arcare Sydenham. This special event was held at Copperfield College, Delahey Campus, and was a resounding success.
The festivities included live Christmas carols, a fun-filled Christmas trivia game with prizes, a traditional Christmas lunch, and a surprise visit from Santa Claus. The joyous atmosphere and thoughtful details made the event truly unforgettable for our guests.
This event was particularly valuable for our students’ emotional growth. They demonstrated empathy and compassion as they assisted and interacted with the elderly guests. Many students remarked afterward on the immense satisfaction they felt, with one commenting, “Seeing the joy our event brought to our guests was very rewarding.”
Our community projects aim to engage students with our local community, and this event exemplified those values. A big congratulations to our VM students for their dedication and hard work in making this event a memorable experience for everyone involved!
Well done, Mia, Christine, Jess, Shanelle, and Natalie.
