In 1991, the Box Hill U3A was formed to cater for the varying interests and educational backgrounds of members. No qualifications are required to join a U3A branch, and there are no qualifications awarded.
Like all U3As, Box Hill is a not-for-profit organisation. Members organise their own activities by drawing on the skills of one another. Like-minded members from all walks of life are encouraged to form study and recreational groups to share knowledge and activities with fellow members.
Because it is a voluntary organisation, Box Hill U3A is able to keep the annual membership fee to a minimum. Membership entitles you to enrol in as many activities as you wish, in most cases without book or supplies fees. Some courses are for a single term, while others continue throughout the year. One-off events and lectures are also offered.
Box Hill U3A members pursue a wide range of interests including:
- Languages
- Art
- Literature
- Exercise
- History
- Discussion Groups
- Computers
- Philosophy and Meditation
- Music
- Card and Table Games
Being a self-help organisation means members are encouraged to also take an active part in teaching, administration, planning and other support roles.
Box Hill U3A also receives support from the Municipality of Whitehorse, from the State Government of Victoria, and, personally, from our local, state and federal representatives.
