Community Hub

The Hub is for everyone! The new family space (in the school cottage) is somewhere parents and their children can come
together, make friends and learn skills. The Hub is an extension of the St Augustine's diverse and welcoming community. In the
Hub we will try and develop a deeper understanding of our different cultural backgrounds, our stories and experiences.

Every Wednesday from 9.15am - 11.15am an enthusiastic group of up to 12 women are improving their English and gaining
confidence. A crèche is provided for babies - preschool children. The motto for the English class is 'be brave and have a go'. The
participants feel safe and respected and 'love their English teacher'. Everyone is welcome to join the class - Parents, Grandmas,
Aunties and neighbours. Volunteers in the English class or the crèche would also be very welcome. Please speak to Margaret
(Community Hub Leader), the office or your child's teacher about ways you might like to help.
We want your ideas! How would you would like to build community at St Augustine's?

• drinking coffee
• growing food
• cooking low cost nutritious meals
• learning to sew or teaching other
• discovering ways to reduce your electricity bill
• parenting tips
• mindfulness and relaxation?

Anything that build relationships, develops skills and helps lead to a more positive future.
