Kensington Grange residents and staff were delighted to welcome retired Geelong Cats star Zach Tuohy along with Bay FM’s Nic O’Reilly for a very special visit. Residents enjoyed a fantastic Q&A session, where Zach shared his most memorable moments on the field and gave an inspiring glimpse into the culture of the Geelong Football Club.

A particularly touching highlight was when Don, a lifelong Cats supporter, met Zach and brought along his book to be signed. Don was moved to tears, making it a truly unforgettable moment.

Thank you, Zach, and Nic for taking the time to meet, chat, and bring so much joy to the residents of Kensington Grange.

Best of luck to the Cats in the Grand Final this Saturday — let’s go Geelong!🐱

It takes a whole team to create the magic of home—from the hardworking laundry staff, amazing cleaners, and talented kitchen team to the patient nurses, passionate carers, friendly reception staff, rostering queen, maintenance legends, and the management team who hold it all together.

Residents at Kensington Grange had a truly special start to NAIDOC Week with a visit from inspiring local Palawa teenager, Bel Gee.

Bel began the morning with a heartfelt Acknowledgement of Country and took the time to explain the difference between an Acknowledgement of Country and a Welcome to Country. Residents were deeply engaged in a Q&A yarn, learning more about Bel’s strong connection to culture and community.

From playing netball for Victoria’s First Nations Team, mentoring young Indigenous surfers with Surfing Victoria, to leading as School Captain at St. Ignatius College; Bel is a shining example of leadership and pride in culture.

It was an incredible morning filled with learning, connection, and celebration. Thanks Bel.
