They can bring a practise exam paper or two along and we’ll provide 3 hours of strictly timed active supervision to help students:

• Get on with actually doing some practise exams

• Get used to managing their time in exams, and

• Feel more comfortable with formal exam conditions.

Sounds good? Book in here. The sessions will run from 9am-12pm. The cost is $15.

Alphington Arts, our new night time arts group will kick off on Thursday 18 July at 7.30pm. The idea behind this group is that we keep costs down by different people sharing their creative knowledge and skills. We’ll have 4 sessions over the coming semester (2 per term).

And first up we’ll be exploring basket weaving with Kayti Murphy. You may have seen Kayti’s baskets at our makers markets - or bought her teatowels and/or pickled radishes.

Thanks so much Kayti for volunteering to share your knowledge and skills.

So … if you are keen to join in you can join up for the semester here.

And then come along for some low key creative evenings. BYO drinks and/or snacks to share if you are so inclined.
