La Trobe's Jolimont - a walk around my garden
Mar 12, 2019
Most Victorians are unaware that our first Lieutenant-Governor, Charles Joseph La Trobe, developed a beautiful garden around his 12½ acre Jolimont estate during the nearly 15 years he spent in Victoria. The fate of La Trobe’s Cottage, after he left Victoria, will be revealed! Helen Botham has carried out research into garden history for the National Trust and the Australian Garden History Society. Being also a member of the La Trobe Society, and founding chair of the Friends of La Trobe’s Cottage, she has a particular interest in the garden La Trobe created at Jolimont. Her book, published in 2006, ‘La Trobe’s Jolimont – A Walk Around My Garden’ uses the illustrations of Edward La Trobe Bateman to give an insight into La Trobe’s Jolimont estate and the people who lived there.

Mar 27, 2019 7:00 PM – 8:30 PM
This month’s speaker is Lesley McCarthy from the Rotary Club of Flemington. Her topic, Rotary Overseas Playgrounds, is one which is a fine example of how Rotary Clubs can work together with community partners and engage with communities overseas who need support.
Our Local Councils have a policy of replacing their community playground equipment on a regular basis and rather than send the obsolete equipment to Landfill Rotary volunteers agree to retrieve it. Through the magnificent Rotary Donations in Kind Warehouse, we are able to harvest the playground equipment, refurbish it where needed and ship it to needy third world countries. This does require volunteers for many tasks in the process and is surely a great opportunity for interested people who may enjoy becoming involved with Rotary projects. We welcome all those who are interested in knowing more about Rotary and seek to become involved. It is a great opportunity for Rotarians to introduce their friends and family members who will see Rotary in action. If you could RSVP via the attached link (you have the option of paying Online as well or on the night) . Please RSVP by Monday 25th March 7pm for catering purposes Cost $15.00 or $10.00 for students to cover the cost of light refreshments. |

Conscious Incompetence: The Epidemic Gripping Australian Schools
Jun 04, 2019
Cheryl Lacey is an educationist, speaker and author. She has published several books, writes a weekly newsletter and has another book on the way.
Cheryl Lacey has worked extensively throughout Australia and internationally with leaders in education. The landscape of Australian education, while constantly changing, continues to increase in complexity, resulting in scope creep and scope seep in schools, workplaces, the home and the community more broadly. Rotary is an organisation that sees and acts on many needs in our schools - however, while these acts of service are of good intent, are our efforts hitting the mark?
Cheryl's professional diversity includes teaching & consulting spanning the early childhood to tertiary sector, business owner, and radio and print media. She's a lively, well respected and thought-provoking contrarian'.

When she is not writing assessments or doing research, you can find her cooking snags at Rotary barbies, volunteering at DIK and Missionaries of Charity, providing free mathematics tutoring at Epping Secondary, exploring Melbourne, and travelling throughout Australia (she has two states to go!). Australia has been Katie’s home for the past nine months and when asked about going “home” (back to Iowa) she often says, “I’m not done with Melbourne yet!” As a Rotary Global Scholar, she is an investment to Rotary with the drive to fulfil three big dreams: to teach, to feed, and to help.
