Bridging Generations Through Cards and Connection

As part of their Community Recreation unit, our Year 12 Sport and Recreation students visited Argyle Gardens Retirement Community to learn the art of playing cards from the residents themselves. The experience was a heartwarming reminder that modern curriculum can successfully bridge generational gaps—bringing today’s learners and older community members together through shared skills, laughter, and meaningful interaction. Both groups walked away enriched; a win-win for everyone and some lovely, time spent.
