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 12.00p 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.

The Greater Dandenong Volunteer Resource Service (South East Volunteers) in collaboration with Greater Dandenong City Council is excited to invite you to the 2023 Greater Dandenong Volunteer Expo! This Expo will take place the week following National Volunteer Week to extend the promotion and value of volunteering in our community.

Volunteering is a fantastic way to meet new people in the community, support local organisations and not-for-profits, and build up your own skills and experience. The Expo will provide the community with the opportunity to engage with local organisations, find out what volunteering opportunities there are available in the community and learn more about volunteering. The event is free and will also include performances, cultural cuisines and a coffee cart. So come along and join in on the fun!
