Elwood St Kilda Neighbourhood Learning Centre

We provide low-cost education courses & programs promoting sustainability, wellbeing & creativity. The house was built in the 1860s and was named Kingsley.

See the programs we have on offer at https://www.esnlc.com.au/ It has been an elegant homestead that has had several loving families sharing its space over the years. In the 1950′s the house was home to the Mayor of St Kilda. Around the early 1980′s the house was handed to the community to become a resource for everyone and has now been the centre of community work for Elwood and St. Kilda.

Throughout August, we're shining a spotlight on our ongoing partnership with the Asylum Seeker Resource Centre (ASRC) Foodbank and inviting our community to help stock the shelves with essential food and personal care items. As a permanent ASRC collection point, we accept donations all year round. This month, if you're in a position to help, we'd be incredibly grateful if you can add just one extra item to your shopping basket. Every donation, no matter the size, helps provide one of life's most basic human rights – access to food. 🙏

For almost three years, our Ukrainian English classes have been much more than just online lessons. What started as a place to learn English has grown into a supportive community where people encourage one another, share experiences, build confidence, and create lasting friendships.
Despite living in different suburbs and often meeting only online, our students have become one big family beyond the classroom. 💙💛

Протягом майже трьох років наші заняття з англійської для українців були набагато більшим, ніж просто онлайн-уроки. Те, що починалося як можливість вивчати англійську, перетворилося на дружню та підтримуючу спільноту, де люди надихають і підтримують одне одного, діляться досвідом, набувають упевненості в собі та знаходять справжніх друзів.
Хоча ми живемо в різних районах і часто зустрічаємося лише онлайн, наші студенти стали однією великою родиною — не лише на заняттях, а й далеко за межами класу. 💙💛
