21.01.2022 For a number of years the Rotary Club of Somerville Tyabb has offered the Ken Robert Achievement Award to outstanding students in the final primary year at local schools. The award is for students’ overall contribution to the school community and takes the form of a certificate and a cash prize. Two students from each of the following schools received 2019’s awards: Baxter Primary School Flinders Christian Community College - Tyabb Campus St Brendans Primary School Somervil...le Rise Primary School Somerville Primary School Somerville Secondary College Tyabb Primary School and Tyabb Railway Station Primary School. Ken Robert served with distinction for 32 years in education, including teaching the deaf and primary education. His later years were as a Principal on the Mornington Peninsula. Ken joined Rotary in 1987 - the Club’s Charter Year. He served Rotary in many capacities including Community, Vocational, International and Club Service, then President in 1989/90. In recognition of his service, Ken was made a Paul Harris Fellow Rotary’s highest recognition of an individual. Following Ken’s death in August 1995, a Christmas Tree was planted to commemorate his work for the community. The club decided to perpetuate his memory with an Education Award, hence the Ken Robert Achievement Award. See more

18.01.2022 Congratulations to Chrissy, Cally and the rest of the organising committee of the Somerville Family Day for an outstanding event. Also congratulations to the many volunteers who helped make the whole day a success. The Rotary Club was proud to be asked to participate providing tables, chairs, a marquee for kids' activities and an all day sausage sizzle. Special thanks go to Aldi Somerville who donated the bread and sausages. It was particularly special to see long standing Rotarian, Captain Richard Cox, be awarded the Somerville Community Member of the Year for 2020. The Award was presented by Watson Ward Shire Councillor Julie Morris. A fitting recognition of Captain Cox's years of quiet service to the community on the Mornington Peninsula.

11.01.2022 Rotary: Honing Job Interview Skills at Flinders Christian Community College. During last week, members of the Somerville Tyabb Rotary Club conducted a series of Mock Job Interviews for 17, year 11, VCAL students at Flinders Christian Community College, Tyabb. VCAL, short for the Victorian Certificate of Applied Learning, is designed for students who are seeking a practical work-related way of learning. VCAL delivers a hands-on learning approach, focusing on life ready learni...ng in preparation for the work force. The Mock Interview programme at Flinders College is designed to help refine the students’ letter writing, CV preparation and interviewing skills and ran over two days. It was initiated by Mr Andrew Bylart, the Flinders College VCAL Co-ordinator and Mr Aled Roberts, Youth Director of the Somerville Tyabb Club. Rotarians taking part were President Chris Such, Youth Director Aled Roberts, Dick Cox, Doug McDonald, James Webb, David Chalke, and Friend of Rotary Katrina Chalke. It was really pleasing to see the commitment and enthusiasm shown by the students in their approach to the interviews and it was evident that the VCAL programme is ideally suited to their hopes and aspirations. We wish them all the very best in their chosen careers. See more
