LINK
is your local Neighbourhood House. We provide short courses
in employment skills, health and wellbeing, art,
craft and general interest classes. Our courses vary from
term to term and reflect the needs and interests of the community.
This is a great community asset and we welcome community input, so if
you would like to see a particular course, class or activity
run through the Centre, please let us know. Simply contact
Kathryn at LINK to register your interest
LINK is particularly interested in hearing from people in our community that have Certificate 4 in Training and Assessment and would like to teach Employment and Skill based Courses next term.
