Residents and villagers from across Shell Cove, Warrigal Warilla, Warrigal Lake Illawarra and Warrigal Albion Park Rail have been participating in weekly tai chi classes guided by Doug.

This 12-week program combines low-impact movement and mindfulness, offering benefits to both physical and emotional wellbeing, including balance and relaxation. ✨

3 weeks in and our residents are loving these sessions, where they’ve been guided through practical exercises and breathing techniques, all whilst connecting with fellow residents!

Last week, Julianna, one of our beloved Multicultural Village residents, turned 100! 🥳

To celebrate this remarkable milestone, Julianna was surrounded by her family - that spans over 4 generations, including her children, grandchildren and great grandchildren, for a lovely afternoon.

Fellow residents and staff joined for the celebrations, adding to the memorable day and filling the home with joy and warmth. ✨

Known by staff to always have a big grin, and as ‘Nanna Sparkles’ by her family for the sparkly dresses she loves to wear, Julianna enjoys bus trips, bingo days and being able to speak her native tongue within the home, moving from Hungary to Australia in 1952.

Happy 100th birthday Julianna, we hope you enjoyed your special day! 💜

Happy International Women’s Day! 💜

As proud sponsors of International Women's Day - Illawarra, members from our Board and Executive team, along with staff from across Warrigal, attended the Illawarra Women’s Day luncheon on Friday, celebrating the inspiring women in our community.

During the event, Acting CEO, Suze Mandicos, had the honour of presenting this year’s Beryl Lewis Scholarship for Older Women to Lynelle Johnson. As the founder of Australia’s only electric marine engine manufacturer, Lynelle makes impactful change through her sustainable innovation and commitment to the community.

Established by UN Women Australia, this year’s International Women’s Day theme, ‘Balance the Scales’, emphasises the need for more inclusive communities where women have the freedom to shape their own lives and use their own voice, moving towards gender equality.

Today and every day, we celebrate the remarkable contributions of the women who live and work not only at Warrigal, but within the wider community. ⭐️

Our Albion Park Rail residents recently enjoyed an afternoon of fish and chips! 🍟

During our Volunteer Christmas parties, our Lifestyle Team Leaders participated in a Warrigal themed elf dress-up competition and Warrigal Albion Park Rail took out first place in the northern region. The home recently used this prize towards fish and chips for all our residents to enjoy, and their smiling faces certainly say it all – it was a massive hit!

Stirling recently marked Pancake Tuesday. 🥞

Our residents put their chef hats on and had a great time cooking some pancakes, traditionally made the day before Lent to use up common household ingredients - and how perfect did they turn out!

Everyone enjoyed these tasty treats, choosing from a range of toppings including strawberries and cream, complete with a nice cup of coffee. ☕️
