The classes are for people from refugee backgrounds, those with humanitarian visas, and newly arrived migrants who want to build essential English language skills.

Classes will be held on Mondays, from 10am - 12pm, during the school term in the Innovation Lab at the Ruth Faulkner Library, 213 Wright Street, Cloverdale. Term 4 will begin 27 October.

The class is a drop in session where you can attend the sessions at your convenience, however, please register your interest beow to be kept up-to-date with any last minute changes or cancellations.
