Short Course Guide
Semester 2: July to December 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. Many of the Centres continue to include online offerings
for their members so we can provide a wide range of options to remain active and engaged. So, whether you are keen to
join us online, or at our Centres, please take a look through our Short Course Guide to see what we have on offer. In the
event of COVID lockdowns in the future our activities may revert to online delivery.
The following guide provides you with a summary of all the classes and activities on
rn
offer across the Boroondara Neighbourhood House network. aste

Most Centres have a small annual membership fee for new members which covers the centre’s
running costs, overheads and expenses. Fees are also charged for individual courses. We try to keep the cost of our
programs affordable and accessible, and some are even free. All courses are subject to sufficient enrolments and may
be cancelled at the discretion of the centre’s management. Dates and costs are correct at time of publishing and are
subject to change.
