We believe through debate and open conversation students will gain a fuller understanding of the personal implications of their actions and behaviours as well as their rights.

Young people understanding and engaging with the law is our core objective.

Adult Education & PrisonEd

Community and further education workshops for adult learners.

Community Education is a process of personal and community development, transformation, empowerment, social change and collective responsiveness. It is grounded on principles of justice, equality and inclusiveness.

This course strives to show that the law provides for and regulates so many things that it is often taken for granted such as, the houses we live in, the transport we use to more substantial matters such as the protection of the family, succession and consumer rights.
