Haddon & District Community House

Welcome to Haddon & District Community House for 20 13 !

The Haddon & District Community House aims to provide a range of educational, social and recreational activities to suit a range of tastes and interests. While all effort is

made to proceed with advertised activities it is not always possible if enrolments do not generate the funds required

to cover the costs of tutors and room hire. Please note that business and corporate rates may differ

from the prices included in this program. Please check with the Manager for these rates.

We can tailor a course to your business needs and we are always happy to discuss this with you.

We take enrolments Tuesday to Friday, between 10am and 3:30pm. We hope that everyone in the community has started

off the year as wonderful as we have. We have had an amazing response to all of the courses, including the new courses on offer. We are very excited to announce the celebration of the 10th year anniversary of the Northern Community House, which opened on the 29th of April 2003. We are very proud and grateful for everyone who has contributed to make this building such a warm and welcoming place. We wish to invite the community to help celebrate this astounding occasion on the 4th of May 2013.

The House has provided over the years numerous course and activities for the community. We hope to assist you in becoming job or study ready; or satisfy your personal study/career goals. Maybe you just want to explore a new “creative you”, so try our mosaics, card making or quilting classes we can help. We can even help you learn how to relax or get fit with yoga and art/mediation classes. Whatever your requirement we look forward to being able to assist you in your quest!

We are proud to offer a large range and variety of courses and activities for all ages. The quality of our trainers and tutors are the backbone of our high standards, reputation and accomplishments by our students. We have dedicated and caring staff that ensure classes stay small so that they are able to focus individually on each and every student.

Undertaking further education, even in latter life assists with self-esteem and broadens horizons and assists to provide great opportunities. Learning is not only for job seekers but essential for our continual need for self-improvement.

So take the time to look through our Second Term Course Guide and book early, as there are often very limited numbers. If there is a course you would like to see at the House just let us know and we will do our best to try to offer it in the second half of the year.

As always, we are grateful for those who support the House in its endeavours and we look forward to seeing you at the House this year.
