Teaching
Pursuant to the APA's aims, weekly classes accessible to the general public are run in several major cities throughout Australia. At present the APA runs classes in Melbourne, Sydney, Canberra, Perth, Brisbane, Adelaide and Newcastle. Pursuant to being a registered incorporation under Australian law, the APA is a non-profit organisation, with most instructors and assistant instructors volunteering their time. In addition to weekly classes the APA has been involved in organising workshops for disadvantaged and at-risk youths.

Famous quotes containing the word teaching:
“... teaching to me was anathema, chiefly because it would condemn me to a world of petticoats.”
—Agnes E. Meyer (1887–1970)
“May my teaching drop like the rain, my speech condense like the dew; like gentle rain on grass, like showers on new growth.”
—Bible: Hebrew, Deuteronomy 32:2.
“Give me the splendid silent sun
with all his beams full-dazzling,
Give me juicy autumnal fruit ripe and red from the orchard,
Give me a field where the unmow’d grass grows,
Give me an arbor, give me the trellis’d grape,
Give me fresh corn and wheat, give me serene-moving animals teaching content,”
—Walt Whitman (1819–1892)
