The Healesville Living and Learning Centre staff are keen to welcome you to a wonderful new year at the centre.
The team has put together a wonderful program of classes and activities to connect with the community and celebrate everything that makes Healesville special.
This year, the pre-accredited training calendar offers a range of opportunities to assist with gaining employment as well as skills that in cease our abilities and knowledge.
All of the courses are designed to build connections and promote inclusion.
The most favourite course, the Women’s Shed fills very quickly. Women bring their carpentry projects and ideas and learn how to use all of the equipment they need.
Late last year a new tutor was secured for Auslan and HLLC is very proud to be offering this to the community once again.
The centre is fortunate to have a local person, Fiona, leading the Bush Tucker Program with a focus on propagating as well as plants that can be used for food and medication.
Other great classes include permaculture, computers and smart devices and writing with a purpose.
In addition to these classes, HLLC will be offering a range of hobby and leisure workshops throughout the year.
The first workshop for 2023 is cheese making, something hoped to run again later in the year.
The centre will be also running workshops on bread making, jewellery making, bee keeping and many more.
Please contact if you are interested or have ideas for other activities.
Community Development Coordinator, Shona, has put together a program that celebrates the diversity of Healesville life.
Starting with a day highlighting social justice and moving through events that promote support for people with diverse abilities, as they are looking to connect with as many people as possible.
