Computer training for the over 55’s was first introduced into the Logan Central Community Centre in 2001 by the Safe and Confident Living Program. We have 6 up to date computers which also have ADSL internet access. The purchase of the equipment was made possible thanks to the generosity of Gambling Community Benefit Fund and Jupiters Casino Community Benefit Fund. All the computers were updated last year (2006) thanks to the Community Renewal program.

We are very fortunate that the computer training is conducted by volunteers who all have expertise in computers and training, which helps keep the costs to a very minimal fee, which in turn enables retired people affordable training and email contact with their family and friends who may be overseas.

The classes at present consist of:

  • Monday morning and afternoon 9.30am – 11.30am & 12.30pm - 2.30pm Beginners
  • Tuesday Morning  9.30am – 11.30am Advanced Computer skills
  • Tuesday Afternoon 12.30pm - 2.30pm Intermediate
  • Wednesday morning and afternoon 9.30am - 11.30am &   12.30pm - 2.30pm Genealogy
  • Thursday morning 9.30am – 11.30am  Internet & Email
  • Thursday afternoon 12.30pm - 2.30pm Beginners
  • Friday morning 9.30am – 11.30am  Intermediate



The courses are held in a private room where the atmosphere is very friendly. Morning and/or afternoon tea is also supplied. These courses are also a great place to meet new friends, establish support groups and to find out about other community activities in the area.
