DID YOU KNOW? 🎓

You don't have to go back to school to go back to learning.

KCLC is a Learn Local provider.

That means learning can look very different from the classroom you might remember.

It can be practical.

It can be social.

It can help you prepare for work.

It can help you build confidence with technology.

It can help you discover skills you didn't realise you had.

And you certainly don't have to know everything before you start — that's rather the point!

If there's something you've always wanted to learn, we'd love to know what it is.

If KCLC could run a class in ANYTHING, what would you choose?

Learn Local organisations in Victoria offer education and training programs that meet your learning needs. There’s a government registered Learn Local in your community that can help you return to study, improve your skills or get a job.

Stories connect us. Stories teach us. Stories keep culture strong.

Today is Indigenous Literacy Day.

It is an opportunity to celebrate Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander stories, languages, authors, illustrators and storytellers.

Literacy is about much more than being able to read words on a page.

Stories help children understand who they are, where they belong and the world around them.

At KCLC, we believe learning should create opportunities to listen to and learn from First Nations voices and ensure Aboriginal culture is visible as a living, continuing and important part of our community.

Today is a great day to discover an Aboriginal or Torres Strait Islander author, story or children's book you haven't read before.
