Front page news – breadmakers in class

Our wonderful new AMEP co-ordinator Christine Clinch put her media skills into action, persuading the Preston Leader to place one of our newest English classes on the front page.

Here’s the story:

Class no damper

BAKING a perfect Aussie damper was a linguistic adventure for new migrant Hanan Koko (pictured with daughter Samantha, 10 months, front) at her English conversation class. She learned to knead the dough until it was soft “like a baby’s bottom”, a phrase that brought giggles to the students.

The new class is at Reservoir Baptist Church and run by Preston Reservoir Adult Community Education. It meets at the church in Purinuan Rd, East Reservoir. every Wednesday.

Call 9462 6077 for details.
