Happy 100 Years to Errol

18th March, 2026

When Errol Bailey was asked where he would like to celebrate his 100th birthday he was quick to answer he wanted to party with the students at Singleton Heights Preschool.

Errol is a resident of Singleton’s Cooinda Aged Care Home and for the past 10 years the home has shared an incredibly special relationship with the preschool with weekly visits between the locations enjoyed by all.

“These kids are delightful, they are just so lovely to be around and the things they are learning here is marvelous, if these kids keep going the way they are the world will be a better place,” Errol said ahead of his important task of blowing out the candles on his cake last week.

Along with the cake and cards, the students bought Errol a pair of socks, a coffee cup with his name and a red remote control car which he said he would get plenty of fun out of.

And the smile on Errol’s face, the joy as he opened his very special gifts was a beautiful present for everyone in the room.

Happy birthday Errol.
