What a magical month it’s been at Kensington Grange! They’ve captured so many beautiful moments that truly made this Christmas season one to remember.
From their annual Men’s Group Christmas lunch to festive crafts, lively entertainment, and cherished family portraits, the spirit of the holidays was alive throughout their home. The stunning Christmas decorations brought extra cheer and warmth to every corner of Kensington Grange.
A special highlight was the visit from the talented students from St. Ignatius College, who put on a fabulous show for our residents. Their performance took us on a nostalgic journey through 90 years of music and dance, followed by heartwarming conversations with our residents.
Thank you to everyone who made December so special. Here’s to more wonderful memories in the new year!

Residents at Kensington Grange were treated to a truly special visit from Leopold’s community Bendigo Bank. The generosity shown was incredible: a slushie machine to help everyone enjoy refreshing drinks this summer, a fabulous bread maker for their memory support unit, and a treasure trove of craft supplies!

Belinda and Mandy from Bendigo Bank joined the residents in painting beautiful ceramic ornaments for their Christmas tree (also donated!). The morning was filled with laughter, creativity, and wonderful memories.

We are immensely grateful for Bendigo Bank Leopold’s kindness and generosity. Thank you for making a difference in our community and bringing so much joy to Kensington Grange!

Children from Leopold’s Guardian Kindergarten have visited residents at Kensington Grange a few times this month! And what fun they have had! The children decorated the residents as their very own Christmas tree on one visit and enjoyed a visit from Santa and Mrs. Claus on their final visit for the year. With snow, lollipops and even beautiful cards made by the children for their special friends at Kensington Grange, the connections built have been a beautiful experience for all!

What a fabulous Christmas party at Kensington Grange! Residents were treated to a wonderful performance by local entertainer Ben Constanzo, and the fun continued with an incredible pantomime of Hansel and Gretel starring residents Dennis and Rhena. With plenty of laughter and a bit of adlibbing, it was a show to remember!
A special thank you to Callen Whiteside from Geelong Sound for providing the stage lighting, sound, and festive backdrop that made the gala extra special.

Residents at Kensington Grange were treated to a beautiful ballroom dancing performance by residents Justin and Helena. The joy on everyone’s faces was unforgettable as residents had the chance to join in and were twirled around the dance floor.

We love welcoming a variety of entertainers, bringing music, movement and memories that help residents rewind the clock and relive the good old years. The laughter, the singing and the stories shared afterwards truly made the day truly magical.
