Footy, Feathers and Flair: A House Full of Traditions

October 20, 2025

Every Sunnyfield Shared Living home has its own personality, shaped by the people who live there. For Cathy and her housemates, that means finding joy in the little things and creating meaningful traditions together.

When footy season rolls around, the household gets competitive in the best way possible. Each week, bets are placed, laughter fills the living room, and the winner enjoys bragging rights until the season ends. It’s a simple tradition that sparks connection, fun, and a real sense of team spirit at home.

Adding even more colour to their days is Marc’s feathered companion, Happy the bird. Happy has become an honorary member of the household, bringing life, laughter, and plenty of personality to the group.

And then there’s Cathy, a talented resident artist whose creativity is on display throughout the home. With her artwork adorning the walls, Cathy inspires her housemates to pursue their own passions and reminds everyone that individual interests can bring joy to the whole community.

These stories highlight the heart of Sunnyfield Shared Living — where independence, community and belonging come together to make every house feel like home.
