Four local teachers were recognised in Altona City Rotary's Annual Teacher Awards, presented by Hobson's Bay Mayor Cr Jonathon Marsden. The categories recognised were:
- Encouragement awards for early-career stage teachers;
- Achievement awards for more experienced teachers.
- Team Awards will be included next year.
Celeste Casale (Notre Dame Campus) showed impressive progress in her pedagogy and support of student learning in her first year of teaching. Celeste's creativity, passion for her subjects, and enthusiasm for teaching engages and motivates her classes.
Jessica Alger (Emmanuel College) commenced teaching in 2019 and was recognised for her enthusiasm and commitment, often dedicating her lunchtimes doing additional work with students who are struggling or who need additional support.

Altona City Rotary's cycling group conducted a bicycle safety lesson for members of the Vietnamese Association in Hobsons Bay. A great use for the Louis Joel Carpark, and a wonderful afternoon. Many of these women grew up riding bikes in Vietnam and came out to Australia in the 80s as boat people. Afterwards, a Vietnamese banquet was shared.
L-R: Marg O'Neill, Charlie Montebello, Cheryl, Mandy and Ray.
Running a "JV" BBQ at the Pier Street Market to raise funds for "Tour de Cure," which has raised A$31 Million since 2007, and funded 266 world-class cancer research, support & prevention projects. While the crowd size was smaller than normal (due to weather) we raised over $400, which will be increased through a 23K walk which Marg is arranging.
