22.01.2022 Lots of fun on social outing. Walk then yummy food at strawberry farm.

20.01.2022 This week we had lots of discussion about hope. Hope is an essential element in people's lives. It makes us feel more confident, positive and secure about things. In discussion we desired many different things but we all agreed that we hope life will return to normal soon. We will have a social activity Saturday 1st August 9.30 am. ... Where : Maroochy Wetlands. 105 Sports Rd, Bli Bli. Meet at the car park. We will walk along the boardwalk to the river. Bring insect repellent as there may be lots of mosquitoes. When we are finished we will go the nearby farm café for coffee and lots of strawberry treats. You can also pick your own strawberries on the farm.

19.01.2022 Hi all This free workshop is a great opportunity for all women in ‘Cross Cultural’ relationships. Any combination of cultures is possible in cross cultural rela...tionshipsbecause we are all human and from different places across the planet. We all bring our heritage. Anything is possible when it comes to relationships : ) Relationships are complex at the best of times without the added layer of cultural expectations, families, Covid19, money and other complexities Join us for a morning with other women to explore strategies for your best relationship possible. Its free, is CovidSafe and includes morning tea. Bookings are needed. See more

18.01.2022 This week we wrote some poems and chatted about poetry. Not all poems have to rhyme but most have rhythm. Perhaps the most simple Poem is an Acrostic Poem; this describes a noun and doesn’t have to rhyme. What are you like at Tongue Twisters? Our conclusion following our competition is that perhaps women speak faster (and more) than men!!... September 10th is RU OK? day in Australia. It is a day when we are encouraged to check-in with anyone we feel may be struggling emotionally. For information about what to say and how we may help others please go to ruok.org.au Next week is our last lesson of the term. During the 2 week school holiday break we would love to organise a social catch-up (picnic morning tea or lunch) with you all. We will discuss it in class next week but please have a think about what day (Wednesday or Saturday) would suit you best for the picnic. Have a great week and we look forward to seeing you next Wednesday.

18.01.2022 English class is tomorrow cancelled. There is too much uncertainty with the latest outbreak of COVID. Follow the government guidelines. At the moment everyone has to wear a mask. There is now a 2 week break over Easter and the school holidays. Classes resume Wednesday 21st April 4pm. There are Easter church services at Goodlife. Online is a good way to participate. Have a wonderful Easter and stay healthy

17.01.2022 It was great to be back at Goodlife this week for our Good English lesson. So nice to see familiar, as well as new faces. We spaced out well in our large room so it was easy to comply with Covid19 distancing restrictions. Thanks to everyone for helping and ensuring these requirements are met. We chatted about the Covid pandemic; good and bad things experienced during lockdown, conspiracy theories and how its affected us all. What have you learnt from the experience.... July 17th is World Emoji Day, this made up the second half of our lesson. Do you use Emojis to express your feelings and emotions during text communication? Most people do and it is considered the fastest growing language in history. What emoji would describe how you are feeling today? I look forward to seeing you on Wednesday 4pm at Goodlife. Take care and stay well.

17.01.2022 From next week we are delighted to see the return of a few of our community groups. COVID safe rules and social distancing will apply but we are ready and eage...r to welcome back our community. Come and join in and find a place of belonging. #goodlifecommunitycentre #peoplematter #health #chitchat #goodenglish #ukulelegroup #bookclub #community #gym #cafe #pools #swimschool #squashcourts #basketball #futsal #venuehire

17.01.2022 This week we read and talked about the various local markets. They are a great place to buy fresh , straight from the farm, fruit and vegetables.

15.01.2022 I hope you are keeping warm and dry during this very wintery weather we are experiencing. This week we had an enjoyable class talking about what makes for a ‘happy life’. A huge Harvard study looked at this topic and concluded the main factor is that of "having Good Relationships".... We talked about what it means to have Good Relationships, what are the characteristics of Good Relationships and how can we maintain or invest in them. The 4 main types of relationships are those with Friends, Family, Spouse/Partner and Acquaintances. Who is the person you have a very special relationship with. How would you describe it and why is it so special?? We will have a social activity next Saturday 1st August 9.30 am. Where : Maroochy Wetlands. 105 Sports Rd, Bli Bli. Meet at the car park. We then walk along the boardwalk to the river. Bring insect repellent as may be lots of mosquitoes. When we are finished we will go the nearby farm café for coffee and lots of strawberry treats. You can also pick your own strawberries on the farm.

14.01.2022 This week there was lots of discussion about friendship. Who is a good friend? When you come to a new place what things can you do to make friends. Having a common interest, work and social activities are a good place to start.

07.01.2022 We had a lovely small group this week chatting about topics related to Crime. Do you think Australia is safer than your home country?
