U3A Highvale is a member of U3A Network Victoria and part of the world-wide Universities of the Third Age movement that began in 1973.  The Glen Waverley branch started life at the Highvale Retirement Village in 1996.  As a voluntary, non-profit organisation, our purpose is to provide access for semi retirees, retirees and senior citizens to the ‘getting’ of wisdom, information, knowledge, new skills as well as physical activities in environment that is inclusive and enables a sense of community. This life-long learning experience is conducted in a friendly and enriching environment which is conducive to people in retirement.

We help to combat social isolation and develop social interactions with senior community groups especially in Glen Waverley, through interesting conversations, courses and physical activities.
