on Wednesday, July 16, 2025

Residents at Resthaven Paradise have welcomed back Year 5-6 students from Thorndon Park Primary School, this time to take part in an intergenerational activity of creating ‘succulent teacup gardens’. The project was made possible with donations of teacups from the Rotary Club of Campbelltown, as well as with assistance from the Morialta Community Shed, where the team kindly drilled drainage holes into each cup. Parents from the school contributed by donating succulent cuttings and Resthaven supplied potting mix and gardening tools.

Fast forward to today, and Sarah has completed her Bachelor of Dementia Care and is jointly leading Resthaven’s Staying at Home in Regional South Australia (SAHRSA) Program, alongside fellow Project Officer Stephanie Karagiannis.
