U3A Atherton Tablelands

Our aim is to foster the joy of learning for learning’s sake, and to encourage social well being and good health. To do this we draw upon the extensive experience, skills and energies of our members to offer activities that are mentally stimulating, that enable them to develop and extend their interests and that provide the satisfaction of making a continuing contribution to the community.

U3AAT activities range from card and mahjong playing through literature studies, to health and wellbeing to learning more about the world around us via presentations and field visits. These activities may involve weekly attendance for a full semester, one-off lectures, or even outings to places of interest. As an added benefit, members share reciprocal rights to attend courses run by other U3A’s in Queensland. Tablelanders may be interested in attending Cairns U3A courses, for example. There is also an online branch of U3A that offers over 30 courses that can be done at your own pace and in your own home.
