Multicultural cafe at Woy Woy South

Peninsula families from a culturally and linguistically diverse background are invited to attend a free Multicultural Parents Cafe at Woy Woy South Public School which began on Friday, May 10, and will be held from 10am to 12pm each Friday until July 5.

"The Parents cafe is a facilitated group conversation, a fun flexible and easy process that fosters dialogue, sharing knowledge and new opportunities," said Hunter Central Coast Multicultural Programs community information officer Mr Herbert Gatamah.

"The Cafe is a way to create and respond to meaningful conversation around questions that matter.

"This is an opportunity for parents to meet other members of the community, learn about resources and services within the community and meet teachers and school staff.

"This is open to all families from a culturally and linguistically diverse background on the Peninsula.

"Parents are invited to come and share a cup of tea or coffee with other community members and discuss issues of concern to them in an informal setting," said Mr Gatamah.

Department of Education and Communities staff will be on hand to facilitate group conversations and discussions, answer school-related questions, or refer participants to other services in the area.

The group will be facilitated by a local Department of Education and Communities staff member with experience in accessing local community services.
