2022 District 9455 Conference Art Competition for Link Schools
Is your Rotary link school participating in the 2022 District 9455 Conference Art Competition?
The art competition is taking place NOW in Term 4. Schools have until the end of their school year to complete the artwork.
What format will the competition take?
The artwork will be in the form of an A2 poster. Students are invited to investigate a West Australia Aboriginal artist that they like and present an informative poster about the artist. Please have a look at the specifications in the Rotary District 9455 Art competition – schools’ letter that came attached to an email to club presidents back in August or see below.
Who is the competition for and who decides who will enter?
The poster competition is for art students in Years 7 to 10. Schools will decide how many students will participate and, if possible, build this into their program for Term 4 or it can be done as a private activity at home.
How much will it cost for your link school to enter the competition?
Cost to the Rotary Club = $100. If you have more than one link school the fee will be discounted.
Please look at the details provided in the Rotary District 9455 Art Competition – Letter to Rotary Clubs which was emailed to club presidents back in August or see below.
There are some great prizes on offer including art materials and the opportunity to participate in a masterclass with an established artist. Please get behind this reconciliation initiative.

Celebrating Probus Day during the month of October 2021.
Probus South Pacific Limited encouraged all Probus clubs throughout Australia to organize a special event for Probus day during the month of October.
Many do the celebration in their own preferred manner, whether it be an organized outing, picnic , movies, luncheon, etc.
Winthrop Probus
Had a saucerful high tea event at Piney Lakes.

Morley Ladies Probus:
They celebrated their Probus day on 8 November as this is their 30th anniversary. They still have two of the original members Kaye Gobby and Elaine Delavale who attended the first meeting organised by Rotary in 1991. Both ladies have continued to be active in the club. Kaye Gobby is the attendance office.
Hollywood Kings Park Probus
Celebrated Probus day at their general meeting on 23rd September, with the guest speaker being Harjit Singh
Scarborough Beach Probus:
Celebrated on 1st October.
This year a picnic on Lake Gwelup Reserve was once again organised by the club and other clubs invited. The weather forecast was dire, promising stormy weather, however participants managed to have their picnic without disruption, only an occasional light sprinkling, and the rain set in when people were packing up to leave. Many club members who would have attended probably were concerned about the weather situation so did not attend, but members from Karrinyup/North Beach, Glengarry, Wembley Downs, and North Coast Probus were present, as were 21 of the Scarborough Beach members. Altogether 35 Probians attended. In addition, Local MP Stuart Aubrey and Karlo Perkov, Ward Counsellor from City of Stirling attended towards the end of the picnic, and both addressed the gathered Probus members.
The attendees all seemed to enjoy the fellowship and friendship qualities which the clubs are based on, and it is to be hoped that next year the weather will be kinder, the picnic will be successful and enjoyed by all who attend.
Ellenbrook Probus Club:
Celebrated Probus day on 13th October at Whiteman Park. with a very successful sausage sizzle
Members from the City of Swan including the Mayor, the shadow minister for seniors Donna Faragher MLC and representatives from PAWA along with 47 Club members
It was success and we have received 10 new applications to join our group following this event. We will repeat it again in 2022
Geraldton Probus:
October Probus Day celebration was marked by our Outback 2000 km trek to Murchison, Gascoyne J.; Kennedy ranges and Mt. Augustus.
This club is very active with a passionate committee to make things happen.
Our Probus Club continues to have regular visits to support the areas new and renovated hostelries, and these included during October the new Tavern at Nabawa and the Blue Bone in down-town Tarcoola.
Our focus on our Outback trek for next year will be to visit Kalgoorlie- Coolgardie.
Finally, I would like to mention that our Probus Club is mindful of its semi-remote Midwest location. We plan to book a table as we ïnvade"the PAWA AGM in March 2022. However, it is probably too ambitious to hope that our members would be interested in visiting Perth for Probus regular monthly meetings. So, the issue leads me to recommend that we (PAWA) look at forming a Probus Club in Dongara/ Port Dennison and if that was successful perhaps an evaluation on Jurien Bay /Leeman/ Greenheads. You could rely on a Geraldton presence during the formative weeks of these proposed clubs to assist with a smooth introduction.
Happy for you to kick the ball down the Brand Highway and Indian Ocean Drive and see where the game takes us.
Cheers,
Cottesloe Probus – Ladies:
They had a early Probus Day celebration in September with a focus FUN. Their entertainer was a magician, with spooky fun affairs, enjoyed by all.
