School lunches program
Mar 28, 2023 1:00 PM UTC+11:00
Often students in our Shire go without lunch for various reasons - it is hard to learn effectively if you are hungry. When the local Loaves and Fishes project was wound up, the Rotary Club of Portland was entrusted with using the residual funds wisely. Recognising this important ‘need of the hour’ for our school students, the Club set up a School Lunches Program with the assistance of several South West TAFE students by making hundreds of sandwiches every month for school children who need lunch.
Success in gaining financial support from the Port of Portland and in-kind support through food donations from Woolworths Portland has enabled the Club to keep this very worthy program running. Even the local Bupa Australia Portland aged care home chips in to assist us as their bus takes elderly residents for an outing and delivers the sandwiches to the more remote schools in our shire. The Portland Panthers Soccer Club has provided invaluable support by giving us access to their kitchen where we prepare and pack the sandwiches.
So, what do the Rotarians do? We label and pack the sandwiches in addition to coordinating and delivering the sandwiches to several local schools. It is not all hard work as there is a healthy amount of light hearted banter between the TAFE students and Rotarians who collectively get a tremendous sense of fulfilment.
Comments such as “you are lifesavers”; “you guys do an amazing job”; “you are angels” from staff at various schools warm the cockles of our hearts and motivate us to engage in more community work.

Coastal Cliffs Sea Spurge removal
Apr 08, 2023 9:30 AM UTC+10:00
Collaborating with Portland Coastal cliffs Incorporated to help remove this invasive weed from our beach.
 
Do you and the family have sometime on your hands? We are in need of some regular helpers  to help eradicate this invasive week from our beaches. Sea Spurge out-competes native vegetation and changes the shape of the beach dunes, affecting nesting birds and other species.
It is easy work but you will need gloves and a bag or bucket, sunscreen and a hat.
Why not bring the togas and have a dip afterwards?
We are working with our local Landcare groups to make a difference.

sayNO2familyviolence shield match
May 06, 2023 11:00 AM - 5:30 PM
This match is between Heywood and Tyrendarra, across both football and netball games, for a points high winner to be announced and team added to the shield. The inaugural game winners in 2019 was Heywood, with Heywood again taking the shield in 2022, so Tyrendarra will be looking to get their name on the shield!
The Sayno2familyviolence committee will be raising awareness of the issue of family violence in our community by handing out information at the gate, having branded signage visible, through back of the toilet door stickers depicting what family violence might look like- in an effort to show that family violence is not just physical, it is preventable and it is up to all of the community to be involved.

Rotarians are invited to support the work of the committee by handing out flyers at the gate, wearing the sayNO2familyviolence vests and generally supporting the work of the committee.

The Southwest district football  netball league have been very supportive of holding the shield match and supporting our efforts to raise awareness 
The sayNO2familyviolence committee are supported also by grants from Pacific  Hydro and Portland Aluminium and is a collaborative of members from Both rotary clubs of Portland and Portland bay, LLEN, PDH, and VICTORIA police, who understand the importance of preventing family violence in our community

This round, is hosted by 4 clubs across the league within the Glenelg shire, with 8 clubs and their supporters taking part. This year the home grounds are Dartmoor- Silvester Oval, Branxholme/Wallacedale - Rec reserve, Heathmere- Rec reserve, amd Westerns - Alexandra Park.
The sayNO2familyviolence committee will be raising awareness of the issue of family violence in our community by handing out information at the gate, having branded signage visible, through back of the toilet door stickers depicting what family violence might look like- in an effort to show that family violence is not just physical, it is preventable and it is up to all of the community to be involved

Rotarians are invited to support the work of the committee by handing out flyers at the gate, wearing the sayNO2familyviolence vests and generally supporting the work of the committee.

The Southwest district football  netball league have been very supportive of holding the round f games and supporting our efforts to raise awareness 
The sayNO2familyviolence committee are supported also by grants from Pacific  Hydro and Portland Aluminium and is a collaborative of members from Both rotary clubs of Portland and Portland bay, LLEN, PDH, and VICTORIA police, who understand the importance of preventing family violence in our community

School lunches program
Jul 25, 2023 1:00 PM UTC+10:00
Often students in our Shire go without lunch for various reasons - it is hard to learn effectively if you are hungry. When the local Loaves and Fishes project was wound up, the Rotary Club of Portland was entrusted with using the residual funds wisely. Recognising this important ‘need of the hour’ for our school students, the Club set up a School Lunches Program with the assistance of several South West TAFE students by making hundreds of sandwiches every month for school children who need lunch.
Success in gaining financial support from the Port of Portland and in-kind support through food donations from Woolworths Portland has enabled the Club to keep this very worthy program running. Even the local Bupa Australia Portland aged care home chips in to assist us as their bus takes elderly residents for an outing and delivers the sandwiches to the more remote schools in our shire. The Portland Panthers Soccer Club has provided invaluable support by giving us access to their kitchen where we prepare and pack the sandwiches.
So, what do the Rotarians do? We label and pack the sandwiches in addition to coordinating and delivering the sandwiches to several local schools. It is not all hard work as there is a healthy amount of light hearted banter between the TAFE students and Rotarians who collectively get a tremendous sense of fulfilment.
Comments such as “you are lifesavers”; “you guys do an amazing job”; “you are angels” from staff at various schools warm the cockles of our hearts and motivate us to engage in more community work.

Coastal Cliffs Sea Spurge removal
Aug 12, 2023 9:30 AM UTC+10:00
Collaborating with Portland Coastal cliffs Incorporated to help remove this invasive weed from our beach.
 
Do you and the family have sometime on your hands? We are in need of some regular helpers  to help eradicate this invasive week from our beaches. Sea Spurge out-competes native vegetation and changes the shape of the beach dunes, affecting nesting birds and other species.
It is easy work but you will need gloves and a bag or bucket, sunscreen and a hat.
Why not bring the togas and have a dip afterwards?
We are working with our local Landcare groups to make a difference.
