Classes are taught by qualified volunteer teachers while the curriculum includes Australian cultural history, concepts such as ethnic diversity, tolerance, mutual respect, ‘a fair go’, and respect for religious diversity. A further 22 people seeking asylum benefited from 1056 hours of home English tutoring last year. A total of 307 people were empowered to gain the confidence to speak English.
