LEARN TO SPEAK ENGLISH WHILE YOU MAKE NEW FRIENDS
Are you too shy to talk to people because you cannot speak English very well? Well, you can improve your English because Killester College runs a ‘Conversational English Class for adults’ every Monday morning from 10.00am till 12.00pm during school term, for parents, family members and friends. Classes are fun, where you are safe to try your new language skills in a friendly place. You will learn words that you may use every day while at the same time making new friends who will encourage you to talk in English. We also talk about things that are happening in our community.
We would love you to join us to help improve your English and at the same time have lots of fun in the Family Learning Centre at Killester College. Please sign in at the office.
Queries can be directed to Loreto Cannon lcannon@killester.vic.edu.au . We hope to see you there.

Professional Development Session for those who work directly with young people hosted by Greater Dandenong Youth and Family Services
It's Time we Talked - Young People and Exposure to Explicit Imagery - Professional Development Workshop
Professionals who work with young people are increasingly concerned about the extent to which young people access p0rnography, including extreme and violent p0rnography, and the influence this is having on their lives.
In this session, Maree Crabbe, Director of the Australian Violence Prevention Project 'It’s Time we Talked', will outline how p0rnography is impacting on young people, and what we can do to address it.
The session will include:

· Explore practical strategies to apply in your work with young people
