ADULT EDUCATION PROGRAMME The Meeting Place facilitates four programmes per year. The terms run closely with the school year and there is a variety of activities. All the programmes are run by tutors who look forward to sharing their skills and knowledge with you. Please assist your tutor by arriving on time to your class or workshop.

Courses held at other Venues

Please check the programme to find out where your course is being held. All courses are held at The Meeting Place unless stated otherwise on the programme. Information about public transport, parking and maps to Meeting Place venues can be found on the venue page.

The Meeting Place staff and volunteers hope that you enjoy your course or activities at the centre. If you have any ideas or suggestions about courses you would like run at the centre or, better still you would like to run a course for your community please contact the centre on 9335 3394 or check out the tutor page.

Evening and Weekend Courses

During the evening and weekend the centre is only open to course participants. For your safety there is an intercom system. Please check the room you are in and the button you need to press to gain entry into the building. After you have pressed the button, the tutor will release the door for you. The room and button details will be on the whiteboard to the right of the front door. The button is loud and to minimise this disturbance to other centre users please be on time to your class.
