For many of us, the ability to read is something we take for granted. For some however, reading can be a difficult and sometimes uncomfortable process, but thanks to man's best friend, dogs are helping thousands of children to become more confident and fluent readers in schools across Australia. Story Dogs was founded in NSW is 2009, based on a similar program in the US. The calming, non-judgmental presence of a dog to read to is proving to have remarkable improvements in literacy for children experiencing reading challenges. Dog Teams, made up of a dog and their owner, volunteer in schools across Australia thanks to the generous donation of sponsors that make it possible.

International Day is an annual event held at our Sunshine Park facility. It is the brain child of our wonderful Business Support Officer - Assunta Wambeck. Residents have often commented on the breadth of cultures represented by our staff, and Assunta decided to create International Day, a day where staff come in the national dress of their country, bring dishes that remind them of their culture and show the residents what their culture is like. International Day has been an event in the Sunshine Park calendar now for six years. At Sunshine Park our staff speak an incredible 31 languages and they really love the opportunity to show off their culture. This year International Day was bigger than ever before, as we welcomed back staff who have worked for us in the past and still love to be a part of this event.
The residents thoroughly enjoyed the day, watching a fashion parade and hearing about the dresses, the food and the culture from around the world. From Butan, to Africa, Scotland to Nepal International Day at Sunshine Park certainly brings the world to our residents.

On Saturday 4th September 2021, Roshana Care Group had the great pleasure of hosting the wedding of two of our residents, Liz & Arthur at our Queensland Lifestyle Village Parklands.
It was a spectacular event, with the theme of the day being ''elegant casual with a tropical overlay". Liz & Arthur have been best friends for 36 years, and when Liz's friendship ring went missing, Arthur replaced it with an engagement ring. The best man flew in from Perth, but unfortunately a few of the other guests were unable to make it due to COVID restrictions. Liz & Arthur were very appreciative of our staff who stepped up to fulfill roles in the bridal party on the day.
Liz & Arthur wanted us to say a big thank you to Deserae McGill our wonderful Facility Manager at Parklands, and her staff for all they did to make the day so special.
