The stars of Matariki may have been shining above, but the real sparkle was at Craigweil House as residents came together to mark the Maori New Year in June.
In the days leading up to the celebration, residents enjoyed getting creative with Matariki-themed artwork. There were plenty of colourful stars, painted night skies, and thoughtful pieces reflecting memories and wishes for the year ahead. The lounge was buzzing with creativity, conversations, and of course, a few cups of tea.
A special highlight was the visit from the wonderful students of Parakai School. Their energy lit up the room as they sang, shared stories, and spent time with the residents. It was heartwarming to see different generations connect and enjoy each other’s company.
The day was filled with warmth, laughter, and meaning. It was a lovely way to reflect on the past, enjoy the present, and welcome the future with open hearts.
If you or someone you love is considering rest home or hospital-level care, we’d love to welcome you for a visit. Come see what life at Craigweil House is like and meet the wonderful people who make it feel like home. PH 09 420 8277.
