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. 
 
L to R: President Peter Warren, Keira-Jayne Logue (Cecil Andrews College), Antonia Dobson (Kelmscott Senior High School) and Asyari Mustofa (Armadale Senior High School)

The award certificates were co-presented by Mrs Margaret Phillips, daughter-in-law of the late Phil Phillips and wife of the late Irvin Phillips, who was also a very active member and Past President of the Rotary Club of Armadale. 
 
Margaret congratulated each of the recipients, wishing them every success in their future studies. Also assisting were Past President & Assistant District Governor, Graham Sampson (who is the club’s Youth Director), Rotarian Peter Douglas and Mike Fazio. All three students gave very impressive thank-you speeches.
