Tutor meetings are held every eight weeks on a Monday night and may be attended by all tutors who have completed our training and those who are visiting a family.  These meetings are a chance to discuss tutoring sessions and any problems with fellow tutors and also to hear an interesting guest speaker present on a different topic at each meeting. 

Some examples of previous guest speakers are:

• A member of the Sudanese Community spoke about their experiences in the refugee camps and settling in Australia
  

• A member of SALBAGO (the Sudanese Australian Lost Boys and Girls Organisation) spoke about their organisation and experiences  

• The Australian Red Cross presented on their tracing service for refugees
  

• QPASTT presented on torture and trauma issues facing refugees        

• Matthew Albert, Victorian Young Australian of the Year in 2004, spoke about his work with refugees through the SAIL program in Melbourne and his experiences in visiting Kakuma refugee camp in Kenya

We provide pizza for all tutors (a gold coin donation is appreciated to help us meet the costs of this!).  Tutor meetings start at 6pm and generally run for approximately two hours, though you are welcome to stay afterwards to chat with other tutors or the Committee.
