Thank you to Alison and the team at Horsham Plaza for providing a collection point for donations. A special thank you also to PP Robyn, Merryn, and the other volunteers who assisted with sorting the bras before they are transported to Geelong and then distributed through the RARE program to our Pacific neighbours. Your support and dedication have helped make this project a success.

The Rotary Club of Horsham East painted a tree blue as part of the Blue Tree project. This was made possible with the support of Breuers Hire, Craig from C & J Painting, Dulux Paints, Mitre 10, VicRoads, and coordinated by Rtn Michael Clarke. This tree is located at the parking bay on the Western Highway 24 Km south of Horsham. Blue trees, now scattered across every continent, serve as powerful symbols of hope and vivid conversation starters about mental health.

On Thursday representatives from the Rotary Club of Horsham East, Local State Member of Parliament, WIM Resources attended the senior graduation ceremony at the Holy Trinity Lutheran School to present year 10 participants with the Winners Shield for being the highest scoring school in the local round of the Science event.
As a result of the HTLC Year 10 students score in the Horsham event, they joined seven qualifying schools from throughout Western Australia, Alice Springs and Tasmania to take part in the Science and Engineering Challenge National Final, hosted in Bendigo.
Students were challenged with several science problems and used their critical thinking skills to help solve them. Unfortunately, they did not place on the day, but a great effort was put in staff and students to attend at short notice

The local organisations that support this science challenge congratulated the HTLC for having the highest score in the Wimmera event, and making the final and also all other schools both senior and junior for attending this event in Horsham to allow there students to be part of this Science and Engineering Challenge. We are looking forward to the 2023 event.
