Who We Are
Glyde-In Community Learning Centre, 42 Glyde Street, East Fremantle, offers courses, talks and activities that we hope will enrich your enjoyment and knowledge, and foster a healthy community life.
We aim to be a source of learning that doesn't cost the earth, that doesn't need prior knowledge or qualifications, and doesn't ask for a huge commitment of your time. Our courses are non-competitive and informal. Tutors are from all walks of life, and we welcome more! Glyde-In is committed to the inclusion and recognition of all members. The premises are wheelchair accessible. The Centre is run by a volunteer Management Committee, and four part-time staff members. We generate much of our funding through membership and course fees, and are also supported greatly by the Town of East Fremantle, who provides our building and its maintenance, and very substantial funding.

Glyde-In gratefully acknowledges the support of staff and councillors of East Fremantle Council.
Enrolments for Term 1 commence on Wednesday 3 February. Please see our NEWS page for more information.

Bus Trip. Join us for an overnight cottage stay at Dryandra forest near Wandering (via Tanglefoot winery). We'll stay in three adjoining renovated timber workers' cottages (6 people per cottage, 2 to a 4-bunk room) at the Dryandra Lion's Village. We'll prepare and enjoy a shared dinner as we watch kangaroos grazing in front of our porch, and later we'll take an unforgettable close-up evening tour of Barna Mia, a sanctuary for endangered marsupials. Finally, a nightcap back on the porch. Next morning our volunteer chefs in each cottage will organise breakfast before we leave. We will share our own food as we renew old friendships and make new ones. Cottages have kitchens and fireplaces. Bring linen (incl pillows and doonas or sleeping bags) and enclosed shoes for the tour; our bus has a luggage trailer. Maximum 18 people.
