School for Seniors celebrates

More than 60 people came together to celebrate 21 years of Woy Woy School for Seniors earlier this month.

Members and guests enjoyed a luncheon at the Ocean Beach Surf Club to commemorate the milestone event.

Coordinator Ms Rhonda Mitchell who has been with the School for Seniors for the past 18 years on a voluntary basis said she was continually amazed and overwhelmed at the community support for the program each year.

Ms Mitchell thanked her dedicated team of volunteers who have organised outings, classes and guest speakers for local seniors to enjoy.

Woy Woy School for Seniors operates on Tuesdays and Wednesdays (except school holidays) at the Peninsula Community Centre.

Federal Labor candidate for Robertson Ms Deborah O'Neill attended the event on behalf of Member for Gosford Ms Marie Andrews who was in State Parliament.

Ms O'Neill took the opportunity to congratulate members of the school for its enthusiasm and contribution to the community.
