Fitzroy Learning Network
Fitzroy Learning Network Inc. (FLN), is a non-for Profit Organisation affiliated with Community Neighbourhood Houses and Learning Centres, and a Registered Training Organisation. Situated in 198 Napier St, the same street as the Atherton Gardens Public Housing Estate. Our primary focus is adult education, computer, and new technologies literacy and offers a range of certificates to local residents who are seeking further education, employment and/or simply wish to develop their skills to live and work in Australia.

Over 30 years FLN has developed a unique model for education that is holistic, through advocacy and additional services our students are able to participate in shaping our local society. Local residents which include newly arrived migrants and people from refugee status who live on the estate and elsewhere in Yarra, attend daily to learn English as an Additional Language (EAL), computer skills, other courses and to access services as they settle into Australian culture. We continue to open our doors to Temporary Protection Visa holders and people with asylum seeker status. We have a team of volunteers who support the delivery of EAL programs and provide a range of practical services. Through our programs, volunteers, staff and community members have a unique opportunity to meet, work alongside and socialise with each other, this is how we interact with local residents.

FLN offers a range of programs, classes, and activities to cater to the ever-changing needs of local residents who may be also our students and/or members. We aim to provide a culturally safe and welcoming environment for everyone. Among these programs we offer:

• EAL language classes for beginners, medium and high level
• Computer courses for beginners and more advanced learners
• Computer Clubhouse for youth age 10-18
• Sewing and enterprise skill-building combined with ESL practice
• Refugee support services
• Tutors and mentors for EAL, computer literacy, special projects
• Community development projects
