About

Community West operates in the Western suburbs of Melbourne. It services the needs of the community by providing programs and support to Brimbank LGA residents with Adult Education, Family Programs and Community Legal Centre. It is my goal to provide a vibrant, engaging and fulfilling Adult Education program to CALD learners, older members of the community and disengaged learners. My desire is to enable participants to engage with the english language so families communicate and everyone can belong to the community.

    Hi all, I have withdrawn from specific location employment for the present time. My enthusiasm for engaged, interactive learning for EAL and generalist Adult learners has not diminished.
