Kit Wong

I joined the Port Phillip U3A this year and am enrolled in the Chinese ink painting  as well as the French Beginners class.
I wanted to use ink painting as a meditative activity and French to challenge my brain.
 
I started learning watercolour painting in my 40s and fell in love with it. This hobby has persisted all through the years even when I didn’t find time to paint. So, retirement has its advantages! Covid19 isolation has too! 
 
During the lockdown period, I was able to tidy up my storage areas and found alot of art supplies hidden away.
 
I try to keep a routine of online exercising, writing, cooking, doing my French homework and lots of colouring. I also managed to sew some cotton face masks and scrub gowns for a homeless youth clinic.
 
I hope everyone’s doing well staying indoors. If anyone is feeling restless or bored, why not try colouring. I find it calming.

How to Enrol

On-line: after bookings have opened

On-line enrolments are preferred as this significantly reduces the amount of back-office work for our volunteers.

  • Login to the U3APP.org.au website.
  • Go to the Courses & Enrolling page.
  • Scroll down to find the course that you are interested in.
  • Does the course have spaces available?
    • Click on the course name to go to the booking page.
    • Click on “Book for this course or event”.
    • You will receive a confirmation email.  Please check your Junk/Spam folders as these automatically-generated emails often finish up there.
  • OR is the course shown as FULL?
    • Click on WAITLIST.

Paper Enrolment Form: before bookings open for First Semester

  • Obtain a paper Enrolment Form either from the Office or by printing an online copy available here.
  • Complete the paper Enrolment Form and submit it to the Office.

The start date for acceptance of paper Enrolment Forms for first semester is published on the U3APP website and in the e-Bulletin. Enrolment Forms received before this date are treated as though they had been received on the start date (ie there is no advantage to be gained by submitting early). On the start date and thereafter, paper Enrolment Forms are numbered in order of receipt.  Paper Enrolment forms are processed by U3APP volunteers on the same day as on-line bookings.

If your enrolment is successful, you will receive a confirmation email.  Please check your Junk/Spam folders as these automatically-generated emails often finish up there.

If your enrolment is unsuccessful,  you will receive an email telling you that you have been waitlisted.
