Strategic Plan 2017-20

In January we launched our 2017-20 strategic plan — a vision to guide our work . Through these outcomes we want to open doors to our community and build bridges between our community ’ s diverse cultures . We want to welcome new members to our community and provide a safe space where people can develop or acquire new skills , tap into and exercise their creativity , and meet new friends by creating new connections . We want to provide opportunities for people to celebrate their culture and engage with the variety of other cultures that make up our multicultural community .
We want to consolidate and grow our ‘ strengths-based ’ approach . That is we understand that learning is dynamic and complex , that people learn in different ways and that by identifying and working from the foundation of skills and knowledge a person already has , they can strengthen that foundation as they acquire new knowledge and skills . This approach also recognises and draws on the strength of our local community to help us to plan , and create pathways to obtain further education , employment , wellbeing , health and social participation .
