During the holidays, the school's health and wellbeing team - which includes eight grade six students, parents and teachers - collected letters and drawings to send to aged care residents at Rochester Elmore District Health Service (REDHS).
The initiative started back in February when students decided they wanted to start a pen pal program with the residents, starting in term two.
But the pandemic has meant they have had to make several changes to their program in recent weeks.
St Joseph's wellbeing officer Rachael Else said it was a great opportunities for students at the school.
“I've been told by staff at REDHS that the residents are looking forward to receiving the letters and drawings,” Ms Else said.
“We thought it would be great, not just to improve students’ writing skills but to let the residents know we are thinking of them and possibly learn something new from the older generation.”
Indi and Seth Hunter are just two of the students from St Joseph's who have been involved in the program.
Grade 6 student Indi wrote a letter that told the residents about her love for sewing, pottery and candle making.
She also described Rochester as being very different since isolation and the streets being very quiet.
Meanwhile Seth showed off his creative side with two drawings.
Drawings and letters from the community can be sent to achievementprogram@sjrochester.catholic.edu.au.
REDHS are also encouraging locals to send in coloured in special messages which can be downloaded from their website http://www.redhs.com.au/
Those images can then be emailed to rochhosp@redhs.com.au or dropped into reception.
