Canberra Excursion
We are pleased to announce that we will be offering the Canberra excursion to our seniors next year. Once again, THS will significantly subsidise the trip, bringing the total cost for families to $850. This opportunity has been made possible by the generous monetary donation from the late Patricia Williams, for which we are deeply grateful. A detailed itinerary, along with information regarding deposit requirements, will be distributed in the initial weeks of 2026.
