Seniors Week in Pittwater 2015 - A Month Long Celebration
20 Feb 2015
Pittwater seniors will have a host of fun, educational and active events to participate in during Seniors Week and all through March.
Mayor Jacqueline Townsend said Seniors Week was a chance for older people in our community to get involved in activities they wouldn’t otherwise try.
“It’s also a chance for us to recognise the contribution that seniors make to our community. A contribution that we at Pittwater Council value and appreciate,” Cr Townsend added.
Whilst Seniors Week officially runs from 14 – 22 March, Pittwater Council’s program extends activities throughout the entire month of March.
There’s a full schedule of events ranging from legal and financial advice, art, health and wellbeing, entertainment and more.
Other local groups are offering everything from computer courses to forward planning sessions, dancing to historical talks and from a guided Pittwater Artists Trail tour to exercise classes. There’s literally something for everyone!
Cr Townsend praised our community, saying we were fortunate in Pittwater to have so many interest groups, organisations and local businesses that have contributed to the 2015 Seniors Week program.
Events include:
• Harbour Foreshore Walk
• Pittwater Village Art Show
• Meditation and Mindfulness for Relative, Kinship and Foster Carers
• Come & Try Yoga
• Come & Try Tap Dancing

Mayoral Message
On behalf of Pittwater Council, I’d like to welcome you to another Seniors Week in Pittwater. The theme for NSW Seniors Week 2015 is “Be Inspired”. This theme encourages involvement, enthusiasm, creativity, and self-expression of seniors in their community.
You can take part in Seniors Week by attending one or more of the events being run in your local area.
Although Seniors Week officially runs from Saturday 14 March until Sunday 22 March, Pittwater Council has a month’s worth of wonderful activities to participate in.
Seniors Week is not only a chance for you to take part in an array of activities, but also it is a chance for us to recognise the contribution seniors make to our community. A contribution that we at Pittwater Council value and appreciate.
Pittwater has connected with local groups and services so you can become more involved and get to know others in your community. Inside this program you’ll find a full schedule of events that will be on offer during the month of March. For example, Avalon Active Seniors are running a landscape art workshop offering you and your friends a chance to try them out free-of-charge during Seniors Week.
Other local groups are offering everything from computer courses to forward planning sessions, from dancing to historical talks and from a guided Pittwater Artists Trail tour to exercise classes!
We are very fortunate in Pittwater to have so many interest groups, organisations and local businesses that have contributed to the 2015 Seniors Week program.
I’m sure you will enjoy the range of events offered this year.
Welcome and have a seriously good time during Seniors Week 2015.
