Three year 10 students from local high schools were this week each presented with a $500 scholarship by the Rotary Club of Armadale to assist with their year 11 educational expenses.
The Phil Phillips Incentive Awards have been a tradition of the Rotary Club of Armadale for many years. They were made possible through a bequest by the late Mr Phil Phillips, a long-standing Primary School Principal who was a former President of the club and a highly respected member of the Armadale community.
We congratulate this year’s worthy recipients.
