Selwyn Community Education is an adult and community education provider based at Selwyn College, 230 Kohimarama Road in Kohimarama, Auckland. Its distinctive feature is the breadth of its short courses: evening, weekend, holiday and daytime classes cover everything from cooking, photography and dance to languages, English, computing, art, history and walking tours.
The courses are run by experienced tutors in a friendly setting. Languages include Arabic, Chinese Mandarin, French, Hindi, Japanese, Korean, Spanish and Te Reo Māori, and there are English language courses for speakers of other languages. Children's programmes include school holiday cooking classes for ages 8 to 12, with a $35 ingredients fee included in the course fee as at 2026. Term 4 classes start on Wednesday 14 October. Weekend workshops run on set dates through to late 2027.
Some courses are held off site, such as The Good Life, a permaculture class at Wadhamville Garden in St Heliers, and a bowls coaching course with the Kohimarama Bowling Club. The website lists course fees from $42 to $470 for a 24-class course, plus books. Subscribers are told about new courses as they are added.
