My daughter is attending one of the playgroups. The educator Jo introduced me to the Our Place Community Facilitator because I was searching for a job. They sent me job vacancies and different workshops that helped me a lot in when preparing for interviews. I got selected in the first one I applied for. PARENT, DOVETON COLLEGE.
