The Garibaldi School students

visit local care home (Whole School - 15/12/2023)

On Thursday 15th December a group of 7 students (Sam Lewing, Emilie Richardson, Emily Armishaw, Evie Marshall, Lily Evans, Kacie Saunders and Alissia Parker) visited Parkside Care Home in Forest Town, accompanied by Assistant Head Teacher, Ms Stevenson and activity organiser, Mrs Hill, to deliver the handmade Christmas decorations which a large number of students and staff contributed to making over the past couple of months during their lunchbreak. We received such a warm welcome from staff and residents and our students did us proud; interacting with the residents and hanging various pom-pom clad wreaths, stockings and stars up in communal areas for all to enjoy. It was a pleasure to see the school community coming together to contribute to this project and the trip was a lovely way to end the year.

We look forward to future craft projects with the care home and I know that we have many students who are keen to reach out and volunteer more of their time.
