• Grandfriends 2022

In 2021, in conjunction with AVEO Newstead Aged care Community we started a Grandfriend project, to foster inter-generational links between our school and the community.  Research has found that these links have many positive effects on both generations. 

We would now like to extend this project out to other ‘Grandparents’ in the community. These volunteers, all with Blue Cards, will be involved in a range of classroom projects from reading to excursion helpers and curriculum learning e.g. local history and letter writing.  Grandfriends do not have to be an official Grandparent of a student, don’t have to make a firm, regular time commitment, just be available to work with one class, at a time that suits them and have a Blue Card.

If you, or someone you know, might be interested in being a Grandfriend please email kbrad27@eq.edu.au or call Kay Bradley 3358 7333
