For further information please phone 9489 6322. Parent-Child Connection Monday 25 August x 4 weeks, cost $50 per person/$75 per couple Raising children should be one of life’s greatest experiences, but as any parent knows, it is not an easy task. People with children under 10 are invited to this four-week course to learn new skills, feel better about their parenting and gain confidence. For further information please phone 9489 6322.
