English Conversation Club
 

Please come and join the thriving club that meets at MCC every Thursday from 10.00am to 12.00pm. Our club members are mostly new migrants who cherish the opportunity to learn and practise conversing in English. Please come along and join us at 23 Foster Street, Newmarket.

These fun-filled classes are led by our dedicated team of volunteers -  Evelyn Wong, Evelyn Kuan, Lisa Ho, Kim Bott, Debra Chen, Micheal Chung and Daniel Murphy and coordinated by Sylvia Yap, Sylvia Tiong and Janis Maino. More volunteers and club members are welcomed. 

Every year MCC offers a 'Developing and Growing Small Businesses' Program which is funded by the Multicultural Affairs Queensland. This program provides non- accredited training, to migrants to learn how to set up and run a small business in Australia. This year we had 20 participants undergo the program. After weeks of intense training they completed the program and had their graduation ceremony on April 11, 2019. Present at the graduation was the Director of Multicultural Affairs Queensland Julie McDougall, MCC's Director(Volunteer) Mrs. Jeannie Mok OAM and Project Coordinator Leonardo Leguizamon. Warm congratulations to our new graduates of the DGSB Program.

 

A team of 12 Trainees commenced their traineeship program on the 29 April 2019.
