Last Tuesday some members from the Rotary Club of Caloundra attended the Graduation Ceremony of the STEMM program at the RSL Club in Nambour. It was a first for Club President Chris Rees and his wife Lin, but for club members Judy Clark, Merv and Anne Paddison, Ron and Bernie Strong, Deb Taylor, Sally Todd, Ron and Bernie Strong it was one of many invited attendances.
We were there to support Jacqui Deane and her team and also to present the Lyn Roberts Bursary to another worthy recipient.
This Bursary was agreed by the Board and supported by the Club in 2018 in memory of Lyn who was a long term member of the club and an avid supporter of the STEMM program. He was the father of program Director Jacqui Deane. Sadly he passed away after a long illness in November 2018.
This year’s recipient is Makayla Kelly and this is her story.
Good Morning, my name is Makayla. I am 22 years old and I have a 3-year-old daughter called Mia. I am graduating STEMM with my TPP Certificate, Barista Certificate and Cert 2 in Business. I will try my hardest to keep it as PG as possible, but we all know that is not my strongest suit.
