Tea cups of kindness
Published 23rd June 2025
This special project was a true community effort. Teacher Karsan Hutchinson sourced the teacups through the Rotary Club of Campbelltown, while the team at the Morialta Community Shed kindly prepared the cups by drilling drainage holes. Parents contributed boxes of vibrant succulent cuttings, and Resthaven Paradise provided potting mix and tools to bring the gardens to life.
The experience was meaningful and rewarding for both the students and the residents, fostering connection, creativity, and shared joy across generations.
Resthaven Residents shared their feedback about the experience:
