For Beginners, Intermediate and Advanced Learners

Third Edition

St George and Sutherland Shire

Acknowledgement

This is a collaborative project between Georges River Council and various community organisations.

We would like to acknowledge the St George Sutherland Shire Employment Training and English Action Network for their contribution

towards the completion of this directory.

We thank all community groups within the St George and Sutherland Shire areas for providing information regarding English language

classes.

A special thanks to Tiana Zhou, MTC Australia and Ashley Cottel, Georges River Council Student Placement for their input in the review

of the directory.

For any updates on the directory please email to jbassam@georgesriver.nsw.gov.au

This directory aims to provide guidance to individuals wanting to learn or improve their English language skills.

The St George and Sutherland Shire areas cater for beginner to advanced English language learners with a variety of locations, times,

and study options.

With TAFE NSW, colleges and community centres as well as online courses, anyone can begin or continue to improve their English

language skills for leisure, education, or employment.

You can download a copy of this directory online through www.georgesriver.nsw.gov.au
