Greek Community of Melbourne students bring festive cheer to Fronditha Care

·

In a heartwarming display of love and giving, students of the Greek Community of Melbourne (GCM) Schools visited Fronditha’s Care’s residential aged care facility in Clayton on Monday, December 23.

Accompanied by parents and teachers, the students shared unique moments with the elderly residents and staff, singing traditional Christmas carols and embodying the true spirit of the holidays.

The warm welcome and tearful smiles of the elderly made the occasion truly special.

The students, with their energy and positive attitude, provided more than just music and songs; they offered love and companionship, bringing back memories of childhood and homeland for the grandmothers and grandfathers.

“This initiative is meaningful not only for the elderly, but also for our children, who had the opportunity to experience the joy of giving and the importance of love by continuing a cherished Greek tradition, Christmas carols” Maria Bakalidou, Principal of the GCM Schools, said.

“We would like to thank everyone who participated—students, teachers, and parents—who made this celebration of love possible. A special thank you to the Fronditha staff for their warm hospitality. We look forward to fostering more intergenerational connections through similar activities in the future.”
