Community Hub

- April 2023   

 Hi there,

Did you know that Northern Bay College has 2 Community Hubs?

We do….... they are located at:

Peacock Campus                                          and                                     Family Learning Centre

Peacock Ave, Norlane West                                                                    Goldsworthy Rd, Corio

 

What is a Community Hub?

Community Hubs are welcoming places where families from diverse backgrounds, particularly mothers with preschool children, come to connect, share and learn.

We offer a range of programs including English Classes, Sewing and Cooking Classes, Playgroup, Toy Libraries and a music program for bubs and toddlers. 

We have a great program for Term 2, so be sure to check out the Community Hub timetable.

 

Our Term 2 timetable includes a Toy Library at each Community Hub, this is a FREE service where you can borrow toys for your preschool aged children. We also have a Playgroup at our Peacock campus on a Tuesday. 

Term 1 has seen our hubs humming along with lots of laughter and learning, if you have been thinking about coming along to an activity, please do in Term 2. 

 

The Community Hubs are welcome and friendly spaces that have provided great support and learning opportunities for our wonderful Northern Bay Community.
