Lyceum Clubs
Distinctive Australian and International links for women - a part of the Karrakatta Club since 1920
From its inception in 1894, The Karrakatta Club has staged regular discussions, debates and presentations from invited speakers, with our regular Lyceum day on Tuesdays honouring our membership of the International Association of Lyceum Clubs (IALC)
Australian and International Connections Enrich the Lives of our Members
Our regular ‘Lyceums’ honour our membership of the International Association of Lyceum Clubs (IALC) and the national Australian Association of Lyceum Clubs (AALC). Lyceum clubs provide opportunities for life-long learning, advocacy, friendship and Australian and international connections.
