Membership fees are kept at a low $40 per year for a family, from 2nd Term $40, from 3rd Term $30 or from $15 per term.
Course fees are normally $4 per hour ($8 for the typical 2 hour class session). Where volunteer teachers are not available for courses in particular demand, fees for these classes are higher, to accommodate a fee to the teacher.

Membership Entitlements Include:

• 4 newsletters per year and the ability to enrol in any course.
• Discount photocopying and access to Occasional Care.
• Family membership and participation in social functions.
• Free tea and coffee whilst attending courses and access to small library of craft books.
• Hire of the centre equipment and furniture for functions.

See Lindsay during office hours for further details.

Crèche Roster Options:
As of Term 2 2009, the following policy has been adopted in regard to the various crèche users:

• A compulsory Crèche Levy of $30.00/term will be introduced for each family who use the crèche, (to help with staff costs and crèche consumables), payable on enrolment and came into effect at the beginning of Term 2.
• “Occasional Care” users and “Course Crèche” users will be required to do one 2 hr “busy bee” session/term in the crèche (day and time at mutual convenience).
• “Play Programme” mums will still need to do one volunteer crèche roster/term.

For more information please visit the crèche page.

Refund Policy For Courses:

• Course fees are paid when enrolling.
• Your place in a course is only confirmed by payment.
• If the course you have enrolled in is cancelled for any reason, you will be notified and a refund given.
• If you withdraw from a course before it commences, you will be given a credit which can be used in the following 12 months.
• If you withdraw after the class has started, it is not possible to issue credit or refund fees.

Parking Rules:
Parking at our Centre is limited to 9 cars as illustrated in this diagram. This allows access to the crèche backyard, and provides safe entry and exit onto Beaufort St through the turning circle. Please note that parking in the turning circle is allowed for a maximum of 5 minutes for drop offs and pick-ups only. Street parking is available most times in Lawley Crescent, adjacent to Perth College basketball courts. Please do not park on Beaufort St.

Please Remember:

• Do not park in the driveway if you need to leave the centre early or as soon as your class finishes. Others may take time to collect their children.
• Do not park halfway down the driveway if you wish to leave early, (which assumes others will go around your car to park further down).
• Park close to the car in front to allow maximum use of available space.
• Only park in the small bay if no part of your car intrudes into the turning circle.
• Do not block the turning circle.

Thank you

The Mount Lawley Neighbourhood Learning Centre is managed and operated by volunteers with the assistance of Lindsay in the office and Liz, our qualified Crèche Supervisor. The Centre has a Management Licence for the building with the City of Stirling. Teachers are volunteers who have skills to share. The management committee are elected annually at a general meeting of members, and decisions are made at monthly management meetings.

Membership fees, course fees, and fundraising activities comprise the Centre’s primary funding. The City of Stirling maintains the building exterior and grounds and contributes some funds towards the centre’s maintenance.
