This friendly Tech Savvy Seniors series at Strathfield Library is designed to help older adults build practical digital skills in a relaxed, supportive environment. It’s perfect for grandparents or older relatives who want to feel confident using smartphones, tablets and computers and for parents who want their family elders to stay connected safely.
The sessions are run in English by library staff and volunteers and focus on everyday digital tasks like email, social media, sharing photos and online safety. The tone is gentle, hands-on and encouraging to reduce tech anxiety and boost digital independence—SEO keywords included: seniors technology classes, digital skills, Strathfield Library.
If you’re a busy parent juggling school runs, this program is a great way to support your older family members without having to teach complicated tech yourself. The course structure and clear session plans mean participants leave each week with usable skills and confidence.
Expect small-group, paced learning with practical demonstrations and time for hands-on practice. Each two-hour session focuses on one topic so learners can absorb the material and practise on provided laptops or their own devices.
Session topics include:
- Week 1: Cyber safety and staying safe online
- Week 2: Introduction to email and managing digital assets
- Week 3: Social media basics and sharing photos safely
There will be time for questions and one-on-one help, and participants are encouraged to bring their own smartphones or tablets. This friendly, local program emphasizes safety and confidence building — keywords: cyber safety, social media, digital skills.
This course runs as a short series of five scheduled sessions, each 10:00–12:00 on mornings in September. By attending the full program, participants will gain step-by-step knowledge that builds week to week and helps them use everyday digital tools independently.
Bookings are essential as places are limited, and priority is given to residents of the Strathfield LGA. Laptops or tablets will be provided, but attendees should bring their own smartphones or tablets if they can, to practise on their personal devices.
The intended audience is seniors who speak English, though family members are welcome to support registration and encourage attendance. The sessions are educational and suitable for absolute beginners through to those wanting a refresher in practical technology use.
All sessions take place at Strathfield Library, 65-67 Rochester Street, Homebush 2140, a short drive or public-transport trip for many local families. The venue is accessible and has public transport links and nearby parking options.
The library setting provides a calm, supportive learning space with furniture suited to small-group instruction. Parents can feel confident their older relatives will be comfortable and well supported while attending local technology classes.
