Dee Why School for Seniors was formed as an outreach initiative 40 years ago by the Dee Why Uniting Church. This was done to counter-act loneliness among seniors in the area. Dee Why School for Seniors is a volunteer educational programme held at Avon Road, Uniting Church Hall Dee Why.
Dee why School for Seniors offers a wide variety of courses and activities such as:
Tai Chi (All Levels)
Philosophy
Languages
Arts and Craft
Music
History
Memoirs/Poetry
And many more!
We have 400 members in over 30 classes!
The school gives senior members of our community a welcoming place where new friendships and skills are forged.
