Connecting Seniors to Lifelong Learning


We re-opened both Creek and Adelaide St from Term 1 2021.  COVID-19 is still with us.  We have a COVID Safe plan and a list of precautions which will be implemented to reduce risk to our members who are in the most vulnerable age group. 

Class fees
Class Fees must be paid in advance.  These should be paid online if possible to avoid congestion and delays at the office. Fees can also be paid at the office but remember to stay 1.5m apart if waiting your turn at the office. If bringing cash, please have the correct amount to facilitate the process. Credit cards are preferred.
Zoom class fees of $25 are voluntary and should be paid online, also before term starts.

Remember: Do not attend if you are unwell.
 
General Rules for both Creek and Adelaide Street

  • There are a maximum of 6 people permitted in the lift.  There are 2 lifts – One at each end of the corridor.
     
  • Remember to stay 1.5 m apart while waiting for a lift.  Class times have been staggered so this should help congestion.
