The Diocesan School for Girls visits Epsom Village

Hats off to the Year 8 students from DIO who organised a Mother's Day Concert at Epsom Village to celebrate this special day with our residents.

The village was very impressed with the girls' talent when playing classical pieces such as "The Skylark" and "Spring Butterflies"

The students got all the residents singing and happily tapping their feet with popular songs like “Dancing Queen” and “Yellow submarine”.

At the end of such an enjoyable performance the village gave the girls a gorgeous present: a little lion (their mascot) with a homemade knitted scarf with the DIO colours.

Well done girls, we hope to have you back!

Don't miss out this video with the best moments of the girls' concert.

A village with heart

“I’ve never had a moment’s doubt about my decision to move to Epsom Village.” Like Karen, so many of our residents are so happy with their new lifestyle that they don’t want to keep it to themselves. As a proud New Zealand family-owned village, we offer a level of care, warmth, and personal connection that big corporate operators simply can’t replicate. With only 90 residents, Epsom Village is intimate, charming, and distinctive — a place with real character and soul.
