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, including art and craft classes, language classes and computer classes. 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 by the Town of East Fremantle, who provides our building and and ongoing funding. Glyde-In gratefully acknowledges the support of staff and councillors of East Fremantle Council.

Bus trip. Be inspired by the dancers of the WA Ballet as they prepare their minds and bodies for the full day of rehearsals ahead. We are privileged to watch as the dancers work through exercises on the barre to the more complicated routines, all accompanied by beautiful live piano music. Witness the sheer dedication that goes into acquiring the purity of classical ballet technique. As the company is in season we start a little later this time (from 11.45am). After the 90 minute practice session we will adjourn to the Inglewood Hotel for lunch (at own expense).
