Our club sponsored Taylor Han to attend the National Youth Science Forum in January and Taylor gave us some terrific feedback on her experience.
During the two week forum, Taylor visited a range of STEM organisations [Science, Technology, Engineering, Mathematics] including:
FUGRO, a world leading geodata specialist company, where Taylor learnt about space, deep sea and terrestrial research.
WA Shipwrecks Museum and their work in maritime studies and archaeology.
The Harry Perkins Medical Research Institute, with particular focus on research into breast cancer treatment using honeybee venom.#infreo #fremantlechamberofcommerce #fremantlestory

Well done, Taylor! We love hearing about your highlights - and those visits were incredible! So many pathways and exciting opportunities in STEM. Thank you to Fremantle Rotary for supporting young people in their passion for STEM. We can't wait to see more students from Fremantle in the future!

The Fremantle club sponsored Matthew Brunet de Rochebrune for the Rotary Youth Leadership Programme which was held in January at Serpentine.
Matthew graduated from Fremantle College in 2022, and was encouraged by Nedine to apply for RYLA. He is joining the Australian Navy and is off to Cerberus in Victoria in a few months.
Matt found RYLA a full on experience, with the initial challenge of being ‘off grid’ for a week, with no mobile phones or devices, being daunting but this ultimately added to the whole positive experience.
Matt enjoyed learning about different leadership styles which contrasted to his experiences in naval cadets. He also developed greater confidence in communicating in group situations.

The club was fortunate to enjoy presentations by three speakers last Wednesday with a focus on Youth Programs sponsored by our club.
Nedine Ouisthuisen, school chaplain from Fremantle College thanked us for supporting the Breakfast Club at the school. She noted that at a recent meeting of school chaplains, the name of Rotary was the most frequent organisation mentioned as a supporter of school programs.
Kim thanked Nedine for her presentation.
Last year we did a project that provided computers to the Marist center in Thailand for use by children of Myanmar migrants who have no rights to an education in Thailand. The other day we got a thank you letter and some pictures. Great to see the project is making a difference...
"It's been almost a year that I haven't send you about how we have been using the computer that your group gave us. Since we have the computers setup around the middle of the year 2022, it's been quite a while because of the pandemic until the month of December 2022 that we have invited Fr. Albert, a Myanmar priest who is quite good in IT, came and shared his knowledge with our students.
The students that we choose are the bigger ones who will be with us only for 1 or 2 more years until they complete the age of 18 which will be ready to work outside.
We are really concerned about these students' abilities in order to get better jobs. We believe that if they have some computer knowledge, knowing Thai and English language would help them to have more opportunities to find a good job.
I have told the other students who are already working now to come on their off days so that they could improve their computer skills, some of them are interested and will set up their times for that.
Thank you so much for your help and support,
May God bless you all and pay you back for your generosity."
Great work.
Wonderful 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
Amanda Hamilton our member gave a fascinating insight to her work at our last meeting. She is a linguist which means she studies the structure, function and use of language.
Language is one of the most outstanding achievements of humans; language has infinite potential. Language can express anything, transmit knowledge and build social structures. No other species has the same language capabilities
Freo Rotary wishes all its friends and supporters a happy healthy and fulfilling 2023
