About Morella Community Centre

Part of the Parafield Gardens and Salisbury Downs Community, the Morella Community Centre (MCC) develops flexible programs around the community’s vocational interests.

Level 1 programs, such as Developing Confidence in a Digital World, Learning in Everyday Environments – Cooking and Baking Skills, I Want to Work, and Introduction to Retail and Customer Service, reflect community demand and are contextualised to meet learner and cohort needs, including those of existing workers.

Learning, language, literacy, numeracy, and foundation skills critical for further education and training, employment, or self-employment are embedded in topics such as work health and safety, communication, food safety and hygiene, digital technology, and personal and professional community networks.

Level 2 programs, such as Commercial Kitchen Practices and Pathway to Children’s Services, develop key elements such as industry terminology, lead to vocational courses and industry-related experiences.

At MCC, practical activities scaffold learning and facilitate sharing of skills and knowledge among learners.
