At McAuley, our connection with the residents of Blakeney Lodge is something we treasure deeply. Each Wednesday, a different class visits the Lodge to spend time with the residents — sharing stories, enjoying conversations, and building friendships that span generations.

When illness across the campus meant one class wasn’t able to attend in person, the students of 5/6 Red found a beautiful way to stay connected. They created thoughtful cards and handmade gifts to bring smiles to the residents’ faces. Tayla and Sidonie proudly delivered them on behalf of their class — a heartfelt gesture that was warmly received.

We’re so proud of our students for their compassion and community spirit, and we look forward to continuing our visits in Term 3.
