The North Ringwood Community House held its end of year function today to provide an opportunity to thank tutors, staff and the committee of management who are part of the house. I was co-opted onto the Committee of Management during the middle of this year providing me an opportunity to further my involvement with the community house.

While the North Ringwood Community House continues to grow strongly, there are a number of unique challenges awaiting the house in the future. Currently the community house, which is based at the Holy Spirit Primary School in Ringwood North, does not own the land it is situated on and this limits the potential for the house to undertake plans to offer new services to the North Ringwood community. A potential relocation will need to be examined and will require support from Maroondah City Council and other levels of government.

The North Ringwood Community House provides a range of courses, including accredited training courses in a friendly and unique atmosphere. For more information on the North Ringwood Community House please visit www.nrchi.com.
