Creative Expression with Jo

Under the expert guidance of Jo, our residents completed another stunning collaborative artwork—"The Fish Tank". This beautiful piece showcases the incredible talent and creativity that flourishes within our community. Working together on these projects not only produces amazing results, but strengthens the bonds between residents as they share ideas, techniques and plenty of conversation along the way.

Australia Day Celebrations

Australia Day brought out the true Aussie spirit at Wallsend Manor, and what better way to celebrate than with a ridiculously hilarious thong tossing competition? The afternoon was filled with laughter and friendly rivalry as residents took their turn at this quintessentially Australian pastime. Congratulations to Margaret, who earned the title of thong tossing queen! The day was enjoyed by all, and we're grateful to everyone who helped make it such a memorable celebration of our national day.
