Students Spread Holiday Cheer at Lapal House Residential Home

29th November 2023

In a heart warming display of community spirit, a group of compassionate Year 10 students from Windsor High School and Sixth Form recently paid a visit to Lapal House Residential Home. The purpose of their visit? To share the joy of the festive season by reading Christmas poems with the residents.

As the holiday season approaches, these thoughtful students connected with the elderly residents at Lapal House, offering a delightful afternoon filled with laughter, companionship, and the magic of Christmas.

The atmosphere at Lapal House was infused with warmth as the students, armed with festive poems and a genuine eagerness to spread cheer, engaged with the residents. The event not only provided an opportunity for the young minds to connect with the older generation but also fostered a sense of unity and understanding between different age groups within the community.

Year 10 student, Daria, said:

I found it a very interesting experience. The residents really enjoyed us reading to them, and it was nice to chat to them and find out about their lives."

This heartening event serves as a shining example of the positive impact that intergenerational interactions can have on a community. It goes beyond the curriculum, showcasing the importance of empathy, compassion, and the simple joy of bringing smiles to the faces of those around us.
