Each month we enjoy an evening of total fellowship, where there is minimal official Rotary business discussed, or sometimes none at all.
Everyone is having a great time, and we are enjoying each others company, which has assisted in bringing a great camaraderie to the club.
This is reflected in the many and varied projects the club undertakes successfully each year.
The Rotary Club of Modbury in partnership with The Salvation Army and “Ray White North East Real Estate” have delivered Christmas Hampers to 25 household in the northeastern suburbs of Adelaide. The business of “Ray White” have been busy collecting presents for the last 4 weeks, which we distributed to families in need. Our members worked hard to get it all done in time for the Festive Season.
The 31st presentation of this award to the most outstanding student as determined by Modbury High School was made at the Senior Prize Giving Assembly on 3 November 2016.
The presentation was made by President Keith to Ryan Dorrian. Ryan, who gave the valedictory speech, was also adjudged the winner of Year 12 Subject Prizes for Mathematical Studies, Specialist Mathematics, Chemistry and Physics.
Ryan is hoping to pursue a career in Medicine. We hope that Ryan will keep us posted on his future career pathway as it develops.
Since its inception in 1986, awards totaling $25,950 have been presented to deserving students.
Sibrina Beukes (Golden Grove), Casey Stoneman (King’s Baptist) and William Fay( Pedare) receiving at the Rotary Club of Golden Grove Student of the Year awards.
As has been the case for many years the club has found it very difficult to pick the most outstanding student of the year as all the applicants were outstanding. However the selection panel finally decided on William (Billy) Fay as the overall student of the Year. Congratulations to Billy and the other two finalists and the club wishes well in the future and expects that it will continue to hear good things about them all.
