WOMEN’S FRIENDSHIP GROUP AT MANOR LAKES NEW
Wyndham Council acknowledges the Wadawurrung peoples of the Kulin Nation as the Traditional Owners of the land & on which Manor Lakes Community Learning Centre is built. In all our activities in this place, may we pay respect to Elders of all Aboriginal communities, past, present and future.
Come and join the Women’s Friendship Group
The purpose of the Women’s Friendship Group is to provide a fun, safe, environment for women to socialise, form meaningful friendships and increase their confidence. The club meets once a week, for couple of hours. We all chat, share food, play games, dance and interact with each other. Women’s Friendship Group is a supportive group like a family who respects everyone’s personal choices, opinions and beliefs. It encourages women to participate in community events and give ideas as to what else could be organised. For more information, please contact the centre
We welcome women from all backgrounds.

We had some amazing school holiday activities for the kids which gave them an opportunity to do something fun in the school holidays. We had a few creative workshops for kids which included the Playdough with mum, Finger painting and Terrarium workshops. All the workshops were fully booked out and the kids not only had fun but also learnt new skills.
More amazing school holiday activities coming up in the next school holidays. Bookings essential as spots are limited.
On 30 March a talent show was held at the Manor Lakes Community Learning Centre to encourage members in the community to come and showcase their talent.
The idea of creating this event was to get people from all cultures to come together and enjoy the diverse cultures and talents. The event was well attended, which included participants from ages 4 – 60 years. There were 100 members who participated in this Talent Show which included 44 performances which comprised of solo dancing, singing, playing instrument, poetry, mimicry, stand-up comedy and others.
The performances were very multicultural as there was a diverse display of talents. The winning participants received trophies to acknowledge their talent.
