ABOUT
As your local neighbourhood house, Waverley Community Learning Centre is not only a hub of activity and learning, but also a meeting place and vital community establishment.
​
Administered by a Committee of Governance of local residents, the Centre is committed to the development and needs of the local community, and providing friendly and supportive services for all.

Established in 1973

Serving the community for over 40 years, Waverley Community Learning Centre has established itself as an integral social and educational establishment within the local area.

Initiated by a small group of passionate people in 1973, the Centre has played a vital role in community life. During the neighbourhood house boom of the 1970's - a result of great upheaval and social change - people sought out new knowledge, social fulfillment, and purpose. Neighbourhood houses provided this, and became an important sanctuary for the local community.

Today, the Centre offers a still growing number of courses and events to choose from, provides a meeting place for a variety of different social groups, and helps to better the community through projects and partnerships.​
