The theme of the day was fancy, which meant residents and staff at Kings Langley wore their best fancy head gear, all in the name of spring style, fashion, and fun.

A parade entertained residents and culminated in recognition for Best Outfit and Best Effort. Residents watched on, with some jokingly taking on the role of paparazzi.

We were blessed by the beautiful voices of the Hoxton Park Pathfinder Choir. Their uplifting melodies filled our chapel with joy and warmth.

Not only did they sing with energy and harmony, but they also shared laughter, conversations, and even gifted flowers to everyone, making the day truly unforgettable.

Thank you, Pathfinder Choir, for touching our hearts!

On Monday 3rd November, Wahroonga took a wonderful step forward with the opening of their new Café the ‘Blue Wren’ - a name chosen to reflect the beautiful flora, fauna and living nature that surround our beautiful site here. Brian Swanepoel, Managing Director gave a welcoming speech to all the smiling faces seated under the breezy, fine white marquee and it was also opportune for Roshan Mallik who recently started as Director of Care to say hello.

The amazing food organised by Suzi and the kitchen team was delicious and residents of both the Residential Aged Care Facility and Retirement Village enjoyed being served by Brian and the Independent Living Residents’ representative Brian Harriss. Geoff Redshaw, Waratah Way Residents Social Committee Chair, also gave a speech of appreciation.

Pastor Alban Motohiti, the President of the Greater Sydney Conference of Adventist Church, offered a prayer of blessing for the new initiative to be a haven for connections, fellowship and refreshment for all. Both he and Brian took part in a ribbon-cutting ceremony to mark the start of the much-heralded enterprise."

“Thank you, we are incredibly grateful to Brian and Alban for making this project a reality for all of us. Having somewhere to get together with friends and family over a cup of tea and a delicious snack is a huge step forward for all of us and we welcome the ‘Blue Wren’ to our special community” said Geoff.

It is said that the oldest English-language cookbook, The Forme of Cury, written in the early 14th century, contains the first known recipe for salad - a brazen little number that called for lettuce, leeks and spinach, served with a dressing of garlic, herbs and edible flowers of the time. Who would have thought that in the 21st century, this little recipe would still be as popular as ever!

For Nutrition Week and to celebrate healthier eating at Kings Langley, residents were able to create and eat their own version of what a good salad is for them.

“We find appetites change as we get a little older, so we take every opportunity to promote healthy choices for our residents. Of course, we also wanted residents to have some fun, so as a team we thought this idea was a great way of engaging them to do so,” said Parveen, Kitchen Supervisor at Kings Langley.

Back in 1925, a man called Neville Westwood travelled Australia with one goal on his incredible journey – to share the story of Jesus. Inspired by the Apostle Paul’s missionary journeys, which captured his imagination at the time, Westwood embarked on this adventure. After four years of planning and to mark the 100th anniversary of Westwood’s original trip, Bubsie, a 1925 Citroën, along with a group of Christian enthusiasts from The Incredible Journey team, has been retracing his route.

We were lucky to welcome them at Kings Langley, giving residents the chance to engage with a vehicle reminiscent of a bygone era and hear fascinating stories from The Incredible Journey team.

Gold and Green colours filled the courtyard at the Kings Langley ‘Sportsfest’ held last Thursday. The two teams were determined by the residents first names – A to L was Green and M to Z was Gold. Residents joined forces with family, friends and staff to keenly and fiercely compete in this year’s games, which included Granny Pants, Connect the Dots, Fishing, Tumbling Towers and of course, the crowd favourite – foam noodle soccer.

The smell of BBQ cooking built anticipation for the yummy sausage sandwiches.

After a day of hotly contested challenges, the Gold team raised the trophy high, continuing their winning streak from last year.

The Kings Langley Sportsfest is fast becoming a highlight on the resident calendar, and we hear the Green team is already gearing up to put their winning shoes on for 2026!

Story Book Day was held at Kings Langley, where residents chose a favourite book to read. Staff dressed up as characters to make the day more fun and engaging.

Reading to older people provides significant benefits, including improved cognitive function, reduced stress and anxiety, increased social connection, and most importantly, the preservation of life’s memories and experiences.

“Our residents loved the day. They were positive, happy and connected to the experience. Our team puts a lot of effort into ensuring residents tap into nostalgic associations, which are positive reminders of self during happy and enjoyable times,” said Jocee, Recreational Activities Supervisor.
