Ron Smith seniors hold School Days Tea

To mark Youth Day, the residents of Rand Aid’s care centre took the time to remember their own school days.

With many residents having left school over 60 years ago, they had to delve deep into their memories to recall their days of blackboards, chalk and inkwells.

Held on June 15, the School Days Tea saw some residents and staff borrowing school uniforms from their families, while others used what they could find to recreate their school attire. Tea, which included sandwiches, sausage rolls and home-made cupcakes, was enjoyed by all.

“This is certainly a lot nicer than the school lunches we used to have,” said resident Joy Smith.
