As the year comes to the end of 2019, thank you to all who have supported me in my journey of another Rotary year. For a small club we are still making a difference.

Best Wishes to all members and your families for a very Merry Christmas and a safe, healthy and prosperous New Year for 2020.

Annual Students Awards

President Zillis Hardiman presented awards to twelve students at a special event held at The Heidelberg Golf Club on Monday the 18th November.

The Rotary Club of Greensborough is proud to have sponsored the Gillespie and Upton Awards for a continuous period in excess of 35 years. They are given to students one for each year 7 to 12 inclusive at both Greensborough Secondary College and Montmorency Secondary College annually.

These awards relate to not only scholastic excellence but also to the participation of the awardees in College programs and events, including activities within the community. In effect the manifestation of leadership qualities.

The awards commemorate the memory and, more particularly, the services provided by the late Kevin Edward Gillespie and George Thornton Upton MBE to this community, especially its young people. They were both Charter Members of the Rotary Club in 1968.

Certificates were also given to our two Junior Rotarians for the month at the event.

A students milestone at DVLC

"Remember to celebrate milestones as you prepare for the road ahead." -- Nelson Mandela.

The graduation ceremony for a Skill Based Apprenticeship Training Course, held recently at Diamond Valley Learning Centre, marked a significant milestone for the graduating students. It also marked a milestone in terms of a cooperative agreement between DVLC and Apprenticeships Group Australia (AGA).

The Rotary Clubs of Greensborough and Eltham support the work of DVLC and both have representatives on the Board and also the Education Steering Committee

CEO Veronica Kioria is a former member of Greensborough and now a member of Eltham.

Very strong Rotary links to a great organisation.
