The Williamstown Community and Education Centre invites everyone to its annual Christmas lunch.
Chief executive Mark Brophy and the team are excited to announce this open invitation to the community, where visitors will also get a chance to see Santa and win door prizes on entry.
In addition to the lunch, there will be entertainment to enjoy throughout the event.
“Our EAL [English as an Additional Language] students will stun with Christmas carols and we will have a performance from Jodie Whitehurst’s drama class.“
Ms Whitehurst is an EAL teacher who has won an international award, she teaches English as well as acting, drama and singing, someone who Mr Brophy said is very popular with the students.
“She is unique and a specialist in the field,“ he said. “We are quite proud to have somebody who is a leader on that special approach to learning English.
“We will, of course, have all our decorations up so we are looking forward to inviting members of the community to come and see the centre, meet people and have fun.”
Mr Brophy said they are excited that the event will be catered, a first for the centre.
“We received funding from the Hobsons Bay Community Fund, so this year we are having the lunch catered,” he said.
Chief executive of Emily’s List Australia Pamela Anderson will also attend to donate food to the community pantry for its food swap.
“We usually get a good attendance, sometimes 60 people, so everyone is welcome,“ Mr Brophy said.
