22.01.2022 2020 has been a challenging year with many services and activities being put on hold. One thing that has kept going with minimal disruptions here at Wendouree Neighbourhood Centre has been our Reading, Writing & Maths and Getting Your Learners programs. Our trainer, Simon, has done an extraordinary job in adapting to remote learning and at keeping his learners engaged while participating in regular activities remotely during lockdown. As the situation changed, so too did th...e method of engaging his learners. Perseverance and determination has seen Simon and his learners making the most out of what has been a fairly hectic year for everyone. Congratulations and well done to you all!!!
