The Community Champions project launched on the Mozart in late 2012 and got off to a flying start. We currently have an active and passionate team of champions and are on the look-out for people who want to join us!

Every month we host CommuniTea – an intergenerational get together. We have a regular 15 elderly residents and 15 primary aged children who attend.
