Primary School Graduation Awards:
Rotary has a long history of assisting young people to build their leadership skills, expand their education and learn the values of service and supporting others in their communities.
The Rotary Club of Torquay is extremely honored to be donating four $100 gift voucher Awards for deserving Grade 6 students, two each at Bellbrae Primary School, and two at Winchelsea Primary School, who are graduating into Secondary School this year.
These four students are receiving awards for being great role models to others, demonstrating leadership in their school community, showing initiative, and looking for ways to help and support others at school.
President Jan and I (with photographer and assistant Maggie and John Mc) attended Bellbrae Primary School last Friday, and in a video presentation Principal, Dr Adrian Waters, accepted the awards on behalf of the two winning students. The video presentation will be put on to the school website for parents and families to view later in the year when the Grade 6 students have their graduation remotely.
Winchelsea Primary School will be having an online graduation ceremony in mid-December for parents and friends, and I have been invited to present the two awards to their students on that night remotely. Our club has also donated $100 towards the cost of meals for the Grade 6 kids, who will be meeting together on the night for their graduation evening.
This is a great little program, which I would hope may become an opportunity for our club to support annually going forward.
