Community Education

Language for
Living in Australia

The Edmund Rice Centre has offered English classes since 1998. Now called the Language for Living program, it supplements the 510 hours of tuition that are provided by the government when migrants and refugees arrive in Australia.

The program is based on the functional needs of the participants i.e. what they need for living in Australia.
Our students come from 116 countries and most are women in the 40 to 60-year-old age group.”
