Smarter Moves Community Road Safety Forum
We are all road user’s passengers, pedestrians, cyclists, public transport users, motorcyclist or a young driver. Lorne Community Hospital, Lorne P-12 College and the Fit to Drive Foundation invites you to the TAC Smarter Moves Community Road Safety Forum. Smarter Moves bring together young people aged 16-24 and their parents, carers or partners to:
- Discover road safety facts
- Explore the theory behind attitudes, beliefs and concepts of risk taking behavior
- Work together through a series of activities to plan for safe travel options for young people.
This event will be held at the Lorne P-12 College on Wednesday 16th August at 6pm. To RSVP, please contact Karyn Hogg on 5289 4385.
Dog Training
With a number of new canines gracing the sand and tracks of Lorne, and a few long timers needing to polish their social skills, we have arranged the Animal Super Nanny, Belinda, to run a 5 week course at Stribling Reserve. Belinda specialises in animal behaviour to help dogs and their humans to communicate more effectively and build stronger and better relationships. For further information, contact the Lorne Community House.
Learn Bridge
With one course underway, we are compiling a list of the next group to learn the much-loved game of Bridge. Jenny, who recently moved to Lorne, has amazing skills in teaching and sharing the joy of Bridge.
For only $40 you get a six week introductory course, with options of ongoing get-togethers and game supervision. Join a relaxed atmosphere with friends to learn this well-loved card game. BYO drinks and nibbles.
Mindfulness Course
While our town is a bit quieter than in the summer months, take some time out for yourself to learn stress reduction tips to balance emotional reactivity and increase your ability to cope with the demands of life. Seeking expressions of interest to join a course in Mindfulness based stillness meditation. Contact the Community House for more information.
Computer Literacy sessions
Ever tried to find a file on your computer that has just ‘disappeared’ or want to attach a scan to an email but don’t know how? Make time to find answers for those pesky computer issues you have – suits all skill levels.
Individual and group sessions can be arranged to learn more about the areas of IT that interest you. Bring your own device, laptop, or use one of the computers in the house.

Our Toy Library works just like a book library enabling members to borrow new toys each fortnight. A great way to entertain your own children or to have age appropriate toys available when family come to visit.
Our Occasional Child Care offers care to children aged 18months to school aged, we currently have vacancies on Monday, Tuesday and Wednesdays.
Sing for Fun
Come together fortnightly for an evening of singing for fun. No experience necessary. Learn some techniques and lots of songs. Join in simply for pleasure or for performance.
Small Business Workshop
Effective marketing and sales is about taking your potential customers (leads) on a journey – the journey to become customers. Instead of treating sales as a “push” strategy, where you are struggling to convince leads to buy your products, it’s much more effective to use an education strategy.
In this workshop, you’ll learn how to use your blog as an Information Marketing Platform for your prospects, leads and customers.
Small Business Smart Business has been supported by the Australian Small Business Advisory Services (ASBAS) programme, an Australian Government Initiative
