Tuesday, we look forward to the participating students who went on the recent Calperum Camp, well done Simon Sickerdick on putting in a lot of hard work organising to make it all happen.

Drew will be putting the $1000 received for the Bursary towards a laptop which will enable him to mix music programs to continue his music studies. It's part of the Club's Rotary Assisting Local Youth program. He entertained the audience along with fellow students Cooper Clark, Kiara Parkinson, Vocalists Relryl Pangpang, Siena Fountain Barr and supported by Music Teacher Blake Ascione.
