Aged Care Home Visit Continues The Tradition At Ayr High

For well over 30 years, the graduating class of Ayr State High School have been giving back to their local community with the yearly visit during Graduation week to the Regis Ayr Aged Home.  

Students look forward to the opportunity each year to spend the morning with the residents.  

A morning of singing Christmas carols, exchanging Christmas cards with the residents and morning tea is a highlight for both the students and the residents.  

Usually some of the students have family members at the Home which make the visit even more special and again this year that was the case.

It is important for the students as they enter the world beyond the school gate that they have a sense of who has come before them and who are the people in our community that we need to acknowledge and pay respect to.  

In this visit, our students show that they are equipped to be the next generation to take their place in our community.  

Well done students and a heartfelt thank you to the staff of Regis Ayr Aged Home for continuing to support this long held tradition.
