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.
Too often we want to seek expert advice but cannot always afford the consulting fees. Here you can safely and anonamously ask your questions.
Access the information that you’re looking for.
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.
All you need to do is come prepared with your questions!
And here’s the best part: every workshop you attend helps fund educational resources and experiences for the little learners at our preschool.
Why Attend?
Gain skills that save you time, money, and stress.
Ask real-life questions and get advice from experts.
Connect with other community members in a relaxed setting.
Support education for local children while you learn.
