The Performing Arts Academy (PAA) invited local rest homes and retirement villages into our school.

On Friday 1st December the PAA hosted a myriad of local Rest Home and Retirement Village residents and their staff at school. They created and performed mini performances, which were followed by the students serving morning and afternoon tea. 

Everyone involved – both students and residents, had a memorable time, as each generation could offer something unique to the other. The conversations and interactions between everyone were incredible to witness. Furthermore, I received a few comments about how welcoming our students were as they waited for our guests out at the front of the school, and guided and assisted them to our studio. 

We look forward to inviting our guests back next year.
