Neighbourhood House Week: Drawing with Watercolour

Course summary

Neighbourhood House Week is an annual national celebration, recognising the important contribution that over 1,000 Neighbourhood Houses make in local communities across Australia. This year, the theme is ‘Ripples of Change”. Even the smallest actions can spark a ripple effect—spreading kindness, inspiring new ideas, and bringing communities closer together!

At Yarraville Community Centre we will celebrate on Wednesday, 14^th May 2025, and invite the community to join us in our “Autumn Taster Program” at 59 Francis Street Yarraville.

There will be 2 interesting activities in a day. Bookings are required for each session.

Yoga combines physical movements with meditation and calm breathing techniques. Pilates involves a series of repetitive body moves with a breath technique to enhance correct movement and coordination. Regular yoga and Pilates classes improve your muscle strength, balance, and flexibility skills.
