Computer course for parents

Beachside Family Centre will be offering a free computer course for parents of young children.

The "Introduction to computers" course will be for parents on the Peninsula who are "starting from scratch" on computers.

"A TAFE accredited module will cover opening and closing files, basic work processing, using the internet and email, basic graphics and desktop publishing," facilitator Ms Debbie Notara said.

"This course will help you help your child with their school projects as well as give you the basic skills now expected in the workplace."

The course will be held on Wednesdays from 1pm to 3pm, starting February 27.

The course lasts for six months during Term 1 and Term 2.

It will be held at Umina Public School, Sydney Ave, Umina.
