Community Partnerships - Rotary Evening

The Community Partnership between Rotary Club and Saint Ignatius has been long standing and fruitful. Part of this relationship sees groups of students being invited to present updates once a Term on school life to the Rotarians at club meetings.

On Monday Night two year 8’s (myself and Samantha Farmsworth) were invited to present at the regular Rotary Club meeting at the Portarlington Golf Club. After a lovely dinner our presentation began. We spoke about some of the events that have occurred this year at St Ignatius such as:

  • Nicole Livingstone presenting for International Women’s Day.

  • Kieran Perkins speaking as a part of Men’s Health Week.

  • The Our Village goods drive that we have run this term to collect baby products that will be distributed to struggling mums throughout the Bellarine and Geelong.

After the presentation there was a chance to have conversations with members of the club, exchanging ideas and experiences and gaining a greater understanding of what Rotary is all about.

Special thanks to Ms Cole who organised this fantastic opportunity!
