23.01.2022 More basketball games at Sorrento coming up! We're proud and pleased to announce that Sorrento Community Centre and Southern Peninsula Basketball Association (SPBA) have signed an agreement that will see us working more closely together to increase the usage of our court into the future, particularly on Saturdays. This helps to alleviate the significant court shortage on the Peninsula, and by improvements to the court facilities, extends the benefits that our Centre can provide for our community. Welcome aboard all basketballers!

23.01.2022 In case you missed last night's Town Hall for Nepean Ward Residents, you can see the recording and hear each of the 7 candidates speak about why they chose to run for election for the Mornington Peninsula Shire and answer questions from the audience on matters of local interest. Catch it on Sorrento Community TV..... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tE0vUDSaNd8

17.01.2022 With the Centre re-opening, we are pleased to present for our community the long-awaited First Aid Re-accreditation course. Come and join us on 14th December (5pm to 8pm) - cost is unchanged at $80. Ring 5984 3360 to book.

13.01.2022 Thanks to our trusty local CFA ..... a reminder!

12.01.2022 It's no secret that some people on the Peninsula are doing it tough at present - and we'd like to invite you to join us in supporting Second Bite, a national scheme aimed at ending waste and hunger. Sorrento Community Centre is now a drop off point. Even though we are closed for activities, our foyer is open for you to drop by and donate some dry goods to supplement the fresh food - and we'll pass along to those in need (and don't forget to keep within your 5km limit!). W...hat's needed? Cereal, Long Life Milk, pasta, rice, flour (plain and SR), tea bags, tins of tomatoes, tuna, fruit, baked beans. We hope you agree that we are a stronger community when everyone is included and there’s never been a better time than now for us all to come together, connect with others, and help to do our bit to make our community even better. We know how generous our community is ...... we look forward to your involvement. Thank you!

07.01.2022 Interested in teaching? Want to get back to working with kids? This may be the opportunity for you!

04.01.2022 So great to welcome our community back to our activities! For the moment, these include - walking groups on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays, Tai Chi on Mondays, Shake It up on Thursdays, Live Longer Live Stronger with Cameron and Yoga with Jo. The Stadium Walkers (Tuesdays 10am - 11am) is self-led group and ideal for those who need to walk on an even surface, or prefer to walk out of the weather. Art Workshops with Jos are also back in full swing, as is Drawing Workshops w...ith Leigh, and a shorter program for Botanical Drawing. Lovely Marilyn, Psychologist, is continuing to work out of the Centre, and 'Time to Talk', a free program for people who just want to have a confidential chat with a professional is still operating. More programs coming back progressively, and dates being set for First Aid, First Aid Re-accreditation, Responsible Service of Alcohol ... we'd love to have your expression of interest to be involved. Please call us 5984 3360 during office hours!
