Life Long Learning
The Lyceum Club Brisbane is a non-profit,
membership-based association of women. The Club supports women who
have similar interests, directed by a personal desire to keep up
with changing trends and a wish to stay up to date with current
knowledge. One of its core aims is to offer
learning opportunities to
members through regular lectures from experts in their fields and
through study groups. All activities enrich members’ lives as they
explore areas within art, literature, music, science, education,
journalism, poetry, cinema, current affairs and other subjects of
interest.

General Meetings
twice per month and
Evening Meetings once
per month provide opportunities for members to keep up with friends,
enjoy interesting presentations and meet eminent speakers. The
syllabus year runs from October to the next October.
Members also participate in interactive study groups
called
Circles
where they learn in a pleasant social atmosphere. Circle leaders or
Conveners take the lead in organizing topics and facilitating peer
group discussion. These Circles encourage a free exchange of ideas
and viewpoints and provide informal opportunities to share and gain
information.
Circle activities include:
·
Art gallery visits and discussions
·
Book Clubs
·
Cinema viewing
·
Fivethirty events
·
Mah-Jong
·
Music
·
Needlecraft
·
Poetry reading
·
Sunshine Coast (this group has its own Circle
schedule)
·
Theatre
·
Travel
All members are invited to make suggestions to the Curriculum
Committee for topics, invited speakers or subjects for the Syllabus.
This ensures that topics covered are those that are of ongoing
relevance to all members.
