Community diversity learning at Badgebup-Rockwell Country Women’s Association May meeting held in Katanning

The Badgebup-Rockwell Country Women’s Association branch held their monthly meeting on May 26, with members of the group coming to Katanning to learn more about diversity in their local community.

Members enjoyed a talk by local Read Write Now facilitator Kerry Palmer about assisting CaLD (Culturally and Linguistic Diverse) people in Katanning.

Read Write Now is a facilitated playgroup in Katanning that offers English language lessons for women along with developmental programs for children.

The lessons are designed to support mothers from culturally and linguistically diverse backgrounds to learn English in a welcoming local setting, while also providing early childhood learning experiences for children.

For years Ms Palmer has helped culturally and linguistically diverse families in Katanning via two weekly sessions for migrants and refugees, one for men and one for women, helping them understand both the English language and the *********** way of life.

With the diverse nationalities and levels of literacy, it is a daunting task but enjoyed immensely by Ms Palmer and her helpers at the playgroup.

Delegates from Badgebup-Rockwell will also join members from the other 123 branches from around the State at the 101st Country Women’s Association of WA State Conference in Albany in June.

The theme of the Conference is Beyond 100: Reimagining our Impact.
