Exact figures not available but only about 16 RCEB members attended. Well less than 50%

The new Rotary year has seen 2 members, Ron and Frank move to Honorary membership and the resignation of Warren, Peter and Rob meaning our membership numbers are now 31 Active and 4 Honorary.

Some members are still using the old ATTENDANCE number.

The current number for advising ATTENDANCE is 0419 929 980.

Cut off time for advising attendance is 10:30 Thursday mornings.

Apologies received after that time will still be charged for the meal as the Pier will have been advised of numbers attending.

 

Dick T – Bob Jones –

Charged Dick for Helen H who was a club guest at Changeover and then sort changed the refund.

(I think “Tight” was the term Dick used.)

 

Belinda Bevan (TLG Nulsen Coordinator) introduced Saiuj Bhat (TLG team coordinator)

This is the third year a Teach Learn Grow (TLG) team has visited Nulsen PS to provide [Maths] mentoring to students. The team consists of 18 university students from various disciplines and years plus 2 co-ordinators who provide 2 hours of mentoring per day to 45 PS students. The mentors pay their own way and stay in accommodation provided by the host school [often a fairly bare classroom] and bring their own bedding. They also fund raise to pay for transport – usually via TransWA coach.

TLG is a not-for-profit organisation run by uni students from Perth but providing their mentoring service to rural and remote primary schools.

The TLG Vision is an Australia where all children, regardless of background, location or circumstance, reach their educational potential.

TLG now visits about 20 schools with 500 mentors reaching over 1000 pupils.

As well as the Rural mentoring program there is an on-line 1 to 1 eMentoring program and a Tutor Center (which charges a fee) in Perth.

Following his presentation Saiuj answered a number of questions from members.

Saiuj was thanked by Lee.
