🤔 Do you have a passion for a subject or want to share your skills and expertise?

🔎 Kalamunda Community Learning Centre is on the lookout for some new courses (and tutors) for Semester Two 2026.

🫶 All our tutors are volunteers, just like every one of our members who assist in some way to keep Kalamunda Community Learning Centre flourishing. We value the skills of our tutors and we're extremely grateful to them for providing classes for our members. In turn, our tutors find it extremely rewarding sharing their skills and expertise, making new friendships and extending their social networks.

Here are just some of the courses we would love to see added to our programme:
> Artificial Intelligence: what it is, how to use it effectively, how not to be fooled by it.
> Photo Imaging and Editing Programs: for example, Photoshop and/or Canva.
> Computing: How to get the most out of your laptop/tablet.
> Photo Booking.
> Local Art Studio Visits.
> Local Garden Visits.
> Dancing (Tuesday morning availability only).

Or maybe you have something else that you would like to offer!

We currently have the following availability to add new classes to our programme:
> Monday AM (term 3 or term 4)
> Wednesday AM
> Wednesday PM (fortnightly)
> Thursday AM (term 3)
> Friday AM

This is a fantastic opportunity for us to showcase what we do, connect with the community, and welcome potential new members.

We'll be located just past the entrance to the Exhibition Hall, in the Heritage Corner, alongside the Kostera's bus display, the City of Kalamunda stand, wool spinning demonstrations, and buskers.

We look forward to seeing you there!
