Introducing City of Boroondara Mayor – Cr Sophie Torney

Jasmine is undertaking a Certificate III in Floristry at Box Hill Institute and her citation read:

“Jasmine is a talented florist known for her attention to detail and creativity and she consistently produces work that impresses her teacher and her peers. She is a natural leader with a strong work ethic, and she is set to go far in the industry.”

Camberwell High School – John & Audrey Steven Scholarship

There were some very impressive students nominated as the School Captains for 2025, and I would love to hear from them as they experience leadership and the challenges and to also hear from Sara as she progresses through Year 11. Would be great speakers for next year!

I am so grateful to the Youth & Vocational committee who not only heard my goal back in July 2023 which was to “Interact more with Local Schools” but have delivered and continue to deliver, through funding to Camberwell High and the John & Audrey Steven Scholarship, Canterbury Girls College Year 11-12 Scholarship, funding for Education Chances and implementation of the Mock Interview Program with Camberwell High School.

Mock Job Interviews - Final Debrief

Final Debrief:

Working with one of the senior teachers (Elizabeth Foulds), the students still had minimal class time to learn to write a Cover Letter and Resume
32 Rotarian volunteers interviewed 108 students over 2 mornings in early September. Each student had a 10 minute interview with 3 minute feedback
Students responded positively regardless of major technology problems re volunteers not having the necessary information for each applicant
The school is keen to have this project permanently within the curriculum - as part of their subject “Connections for Life”

Changes for 2025:

Students will be offered more classroom time to write up their Cover Letter and Resume
Communication will be improved by each student being responsible for printing a hard copy of their application and handing it to the teacher at least 2 weeks before the interviews start. I will then distribute them to our interviewers in plenty of time
We will provide time keepers
In conjunction with Bryan Goodwin (one of the Rotarians who set up this project many years ago), Elizabeth and I have created a new list of vocations to relate to modern times with more variety of choices. I will send a list of suggestions for Bryan to update the current list
I have offered to speak to the Year 9 students next year to introduce the Rotary and Mock Job Interviews project and stress the benefits

I commend this valuable project to the Club, and look forward to to continued support in 2025.

Camp Getaway Working Bee - 28th Feb 25 – 2 Mar 25

Camp Getaway provides a quality recreational camp experience for people of all abilities. The target groups assisted at Camp Getaway are people with disabilities and special needs.

The Rotary Club of Camberwell has booked the dates above and we will again be assisted by our former member and now retired painter – Andy Spry.

Thousands of voluntary hours have gone into redeveloping the site, which now includes self-contained units with full disabled facilities, modern dormitories and many other improvements.

This working bee at Camp Getaway is a weekend away and provides a great opportunity for club fellowship. As there is always refurbishment and maintenance activities to be done this is a great hands-on Community project for our Club.

Further information to follow.
