The first Award was presented in 2007 to a year 10 student who was doing VCE in 2008 -2009. This year’s presentation is the 12thyear of presentation of the award.
The educational award of $1000 per year for 2 years is given to the school to be held in trust and the principal authorizes payments for education expenses as needed.
Application forms are distributed to appropriate year 10 students and a selection is made by staff and endorsed by the principal with a recommendation given to the Rotary Youth Committee for approval.’ (Notes supplied by Judy Greer.)
