Once again the Rotary Club of Healesville will sponsor two boys and two girls from Years 11 and 12 to attend the Lord and Lady Somers Camps from 4 to 11 January 2020 and 12 to 18 January 2020 respectively.
For the past 15 years, MLMC has upheld a proud tradition of sending at least four students to this excellent leadership camp each year. Many of our students have gone on to become prefects and all who attended have been strengthened by the challenges the camp offers. The Rotary committee involved in this initiative welcomes applicants from MLMC as many of our past students have returned the next year as voluntary helpers.
To be eligible applicants must be between the ages of 16 ½ to 18 as at January 2020. The Rotary Club of Healesville will sponsor the four successful candidates covering $476 of the $576 total cost per candidate. Candidates only have to pay $100 for an experience of a lifetime.
This year the selection process has changed — teachers must nominate students online. Although applications close officially on Friday, 20 September 2019, the earlier the application is submitted, the better are your chances. Successful applicants will be contacted in late October and made an offer.
So how do you apply? Firstly, visit the Big Camp website for more information. Then email me or come and see me soon to register your interest.
