The School of Life is a series of monthly evening workshops designed to equip you with practical skills every adult should know, but often never gets taught.
From managing your money, understanding taxes and how to file a tax return, to drafting a Will or navigating life’s big decisions – we aim to equip you with tools that make everyday living a little easier and a little less stressful.
And here’s the best part: every workshop you attend helps fund educational resources and experiences for the little learners at our preschool.
Interactive, discussion-led sessions;
no boring lectures
