The SRCWA Rockingham LiveLighter Aged Care Games lit up the Baldivis Recreation Centre on Thursday, 21st August 2025, with a vibrant celebration of community, care, and spirited competition. Thanks to our naming rights partner LiveLighter Healthway, the event was a resounding success.
Eight enthusiastic teams participated in a variety of games tailored specifically for seniors who may require care. The atmosphere was filled with laughter, camaraderie, and determination as participants gave it their all.
Dawn Yates, SRCWA Executive Officer, welcomed attendees and introduced City of Rockingham Mayor Deb Hamblin, who officially opened the Games. Her support for this unique event was deeply appreciated. The day’s proceedings were expertly hosted by SRCWA State President Colin Steer, who kept the energy high and the schedule flowing.
After four hours of lively competition, the results were:
🥉 Third Place: The Royals Bethanie
🥈 Second Place: Waters Warriors Bethanie
🥇 First Place: The Card Sharks Brightwater
The Best Presented Team Award went to Waters Warriors Bethanie, who wowed everyone with their Viking-themed table and costumes-complete with shields and weapons!
Celebrating Our Eldest Competitors this year, we were honoured to have two 101-year-old competitors. Margaret Smith from Banksia Park and Elsie Dunn from Waters Warriors Bethanie, their participation was a true inspiration to all.
During the lunch break, the talented ladies from Swing and Sway delivered a delightful floor show, performing to a variety of songs. Huge thanks to Ansje and the team for their continued support and uplifting entertainment.
SRCWA extends heartfelt thanks to our dedicated staff and volunteers, especially those from the Rockingham area, for their tireless efforts in setup, scoring, and pack-down.
We also gratefully acknowledge our sponsors LiveLighter Healthway and the Government of Western Australia. Your support makes this event not only possible but truly memorable for all involved.
