Activity Details
Classes run weekly during school terms on Tuesdays from 09:30 to 12:00 and are structured as a series across the term. The first listed session begins 2026-02-03 and sessions continue through 2026-12-01 on the dates published by City of Kingston.
Each session focuses on practical topics such as setting up and using email, basic internet browsing, file management, online safety and simple document creation. The approachable tutors will tailor explanations so you and other parents can quickly use skills for school forms, communication and home admin.
Sessions are run by Mordialloc Neighbourhood House. The course is pitched at absolute beginners and repeats each term so you can build confidence over time without pressure.
Location and Access
Classes take place at Clarinda Community Centre, 58B Viney Street, Clarinda 3169, a community hub that’s easy to reach by public transport and local roads. The City of Kingston suggests considering walking, cycling or public transport and leaving your car at home.
The community centre offers accessible entry and a welcoming setting for adults returning to learning. There is a nearby bus network and local parking, but arriving a little early helps with setup and connecting to centre facilities.
If you need specific access support or directions, contact the hosting organisation directly—they can advise on access needs, where to park and the best public transport options to the Clarinda Community Centre.
