Short Course Guide
Semester 1: January to June 2021
WHO WE ARE & WHERE WE ARE
The City of Boroondara is home to eleven Community and Neighbourhood Houses, bringing the community together to
connect, learn and contribute in their local area through social, educational and support activities.
In April last year many of our Neighbourhood Houses moved to deliver programs online. This year, restrictions
permitting, we are open to onsite classes and activities under strict COVID-safe guidelines, including hygiene and
cleaning processes and capacity regulations that are in place. As we enter 2021, many of the Centres will continue to
include online offerings for their members so we can provide a wide range of options for our members to remain active
and engaged.
So whether you are keen to continue learning online, or if you are looking forward to
returning to our Centres, please take a look through our Short Course Guide
to see what we have on offer. rn
