PN. THIS IS PLAYFORD
Kindness in action. Students from Elizabeth Grove and Elizabeth Vale primary schools have been creating nurture kits to show essential workers how much they value their contribution through the Playford 10 Kindness in Action Project. Esther and Hader, along with their class at Elizabeth Vale Primary School, have been making stickers, bookmarks, lanyards and Aboriginal dreamtime picture frames to be placed inside the kits. “My message to the nurses and the team at Calvary is to thank them for everything they’ve done for us, keep up the good work and keep your head up,” Esther said. “I would like to thank the nurses for saving people’s lives,” Hader added. Elizabeth Grove Primary School students, Jacob and Shaynell, added trinket boxes, coasters, bracelets, and a hit amongst the Calvary Health Care staff - a joke book - to the nurture kits. “Nurses have done so much during COVID and throughout their whole working experience,” Jacob said. “Thank you for helping us and for delivering babies,” Shaynell added. The volunteer project, developed in partnership with the City of Playford, Calvary Health Care South Australia and the Rotary Club of Adelaide, aims to highlight the importance of the health industry to children, as well as to give students an insight into potential health careers. Mission Integration Co-coordinator at Calvary Health Care SA, Belinda Chapman said the project had already achieved many positive outcomes, by drawing together community groups to acknowledge and support our healthcare workers.
