Doveton Neighbourhood Learning Centre
Welcome to DNLC.org, the digital home of the Doveton Neighbourhood Learning Centre Inc. Since our humble beginnings in 1976 as the Doveton Drop-In, our centre has evolved into a vital community hub where individuals from all walks of life come to learn, share, and grow together. Originally initiated by a trio of dedicated volunteers and supported by the Doveton Community Health Centre, our mission has been to foster a supportive environment that encourages educational and personal development.
Located at the heart of the community in a facility renovated in 2003, DNLC boasts modern classrooms, a computer training room, and versatile community spaces, all designed to meet the diverse needs of our community members. From adult education and training programs to playgroups and craft workshops, DNLC offers a wide array of activities aimed at enhancing life skills and promoting well-being.
Our redesigned logo featuring the Feather Quill symbolizes our commitment to learning and new opportunities, bridging our past represented by the Dove Bird with our present and future endeavours.
Whether you’re looking to expand your knowledge, find support, or contribute to the community, DNLC welcomes you. Join us as we continue to build a vibrant, inclusive community together.
