On Thursday, 23 July 2026, ÌÇÐÄvlogÆÆ½â°æ College’s Year 10 and 11 VET Community Services students visited Aeralife Northpoint in Epping for a meaningful community-based learning experience.
As part of the visit, our students joined residents in a Commonwealth Games-themed program organised by the Aeralife Northpoint team. Students and residents participated in a range of games together, creating opportunities for friendly interaction, teamwork and conversation. The activities brought energy and enjoyment to the day while helping students form genuine connections with the residents.
The experience allowed students to apply important community services skills outside the classroom, including respectful communication, active listening, patience and empathy. Through these interactions, students gained a better understanding of how recreational activities can support residents’ social connections, participation and overall wellbeing.
Students also created cards and wrote thoughtful thank-you letters for the residents. These personal messages expressed their appreciation for the opportunity to spend time together and added a special touch to the day.
The visit encouraged students to reflect on the important role of aged care and community services workers in helping individuals feel included, respected and valued. It also demonstrated how shared activities can bring different generations together and create positive experiences for everyone involved.
ÌÇÐÄvlogÆÆ½â°æ sincerely thanks the residents and staff of Aeralife Northpoint for their warm welcome and for organising an engaging Commonwealth Games-themed program. The College looks forward to continuing this valuable partnership and providing students with further opportunities to learn through service, compassion and community connection.
