Woori Community House is thrilled to announce that our comprehensive Term Three program is now available, featuring an exciting blend of both brand-new offerings and beloved returning favourites.
This diverse range of classes and activities has been carefully curated to serve our vibrant community members of all ages and interests.
We’re particularly excited to introduce several innovative programs this term. New to our line-up is Wood Snake 2025 with Salwa Abboud, a unique artistic workshop thatpromises to engage participants in creative expression through this fascinating medium. The program will provide all necessary materials and expert guidance for both beginners and those with some experience. Our Seniors Morning Tea and Games session offers a wonderful opportunity for older community members to socialise, enjoy refreshments, and participate in engaging activities designed to promote mental stimulation and social connection. This relaxed atmosphere encourages new friendships and provides a supportive environment for regular social interaction.
Health and wellness take centre stage with the introduction of the NDSS Diabetes Victoria – Desmond Program, a structured educational initiative designed to help individuals better understand and manage diabetes. This evidence-based program provides practical tools and knowledge to support healthier lifestyle choices and improved health outcomes.
Safety and emergency preparedness are addressed through our new Ambulance Victoria – Parents and Carers of Young Children program. This essential course equips parents and caregivers with vital first aid skills and emergency response techniques specifically tailored for young children, providing peace of mind and potentially life-saving knowledge.
We’re also introducing Meditation classes to support mental health and wellness, offering participants the opportunity to learn various meditation techniques, stress reduction strategies, and mindfulness practices in a calm and supportive environment.
Our highly successful exercise and fitness classes are returning with some exciting updates. The SIT2FIT Chair-Based Exercise Classes have proven incredibly popular with participants of all mobility levels, and we’re pleased to announce a new convenient time slot at 1pm to accommodate more schedules. These classes provide gentle yet effective exercise routines designed for those who prefer or require seated exercise options. Dance Fitness Classes with Rhiannon continue to bring energy and joy to our fitness offerings. Rhiannon’s engaging teaching style and carefully selected music create an atmosphere where participants can improve their fitness while having fun and expressing themselves through movement. Our very popular Dru Yoga sessions with Angie return by popular demand. These classes focus on gentle, flowing movements combined with breathing techniques and meditation, promoting both physical flexibility and mental calm. Angie’s expertise and compassionate teaching approach have made these sessions a community favourite.
This term, we’re expanding our children’s programming with Kids Create Craft, which will now be split into two distinct and exciting sessions. The Clay Art component will allow young artists to explore their creativity through hands-on pottery and sculpting techniques, while the Pom Pom Making sessions will teach various crafting skills and provide opportunities for colourful, tactile creativity.
Our partnership with Bunnings continues with their return for an exciting Spring Gardening session. This hands-on workshop will cover seasonal planting, garden preparation, and sustainable gardening practices, perfect for both novice gardeners and those looking to expand their green-thumb knowledge.
Our beloved get-together groups are returning in Term 3, providing essential social connections within our community. Monday Mix offers a relaxed environment for community members to meet, share experiences, and participate in various activities. The Golden Years group specifically caters to older adults, fostering meaningful connections and engaging activities suited to their interests and needs.
The Brewers Club continues to provide a space for enthusiasts to share knowledge, techniques, and appreciation for craft brewing.
Fridays at Woori Community House offer multiple valuable services. The Yarra Ranges Flexi Vehicle Library provides convenient access to transportation options for community members, while our Co-Networking/Study Space offers a quiet, productive environment for remote work, study, or collaborative projects.
Creativewriting enthusiasts can participate in Create Your Own Writer’s Treasure Box, an innovative program designed to inspire creativity and provide practical tools for developing writing skills. This hands-on workshop encourages participants to build their own personalised collection of writing prompts, techniques, and inspiration.
We’re also continuing our popular Knitting and Crochet drop-off sessions this term, providing a relaxed environment for fibre arts enthusiasts to work on projects, share techniques, and enjoy the therapeutic benefits of these traditional crafts.
Understanding the importance of financial support within our community, we’re pleased to offer Free Tax Help from July to October 2025. This valuable service provides professional assistance with tax preparation and filing, ensuring community members can access expert help during tax season.
