🌏 𝗢𝗹𝗱 𝗣𝗹𝗮𝘆𝗴𝗿𝗼𝘂𝗻𝗱𝘀, 𝗡𝗲𝘄 𝗔𝗱𝘃𝗲𝗻𝘁𝘂𝗿𝗲𝘀! 🛝✨

The Rotary Club of Phillip Island and San Remo has joined forces with other Victorian Rotary clubs to help give three local playgrounds a second life through the Rotary Overseas Recycled Playgrounds program.

Last week, Rotary volunteers carefully dismantled, sorted, catalogued and prepared playground equipment from:

🛝 Park Parade Playground, Cape Paterson
🛝 Strongs Reserve Playground, Wonthaggi
🛝 Rodney Court Playground, Wonthaggi

Instead of going to landfill, this equipment will be shipped overseas to create safe and joyful play spaces for children and families across the South Pacific.

𝗧𝗵𝗶𝘀 𝗽𝗿𝗼𝗷𝗲𝗰𝘁 𝗶𝘀 𝗮 𝘄𝗼𝗻𝗱𝗲𝗿𝗳𝘂𝗹 𝗲𝘅𝗮𝗺𝗽𝗹𝗲 𝗼𝗳 𝗥𝗼𝘁𝗮𝗿𝘆 𝗶𝗻 𝗮𝗰𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻: reducing waste, supporting communities, and spreading the simple joy of play far beyond our own shores. 💙💛

🥞 A big thank you to our members who were up bright and early, cooking a pancake breakfast for the students at 𝗦𝗮𝗻 𝗥𝗲𝗺𝗼 𝗣𝗿𝗶𝗺𝗮𝗿𝘆 𝗦𝗰𝗵𝗼𝗼𝗹!

It was wonderful to see so many smiling faces enjoying a hot breakfast and spending time together before the school day began. Community events like these are a great reminder of the importance of connection, fellowship, and supporting our young people.

Thank you to the school staff and volunteers who helped make the morning such a success. We always enjoy working alongside our local schools and being part of our wonderful community. 💙💛

Members of the Rotary Club of Phillip Island and San Remo were pleased to once again assist with the 𝗖𝗼𝘄𝗲𝘀 𝗖𝗼𝗺𝗺𝘂𝗻𝗶𝘁𝘆 𝗠𝗲𝗮𝗹, proudly organised by the 𝗨𝗻𝗶𝘁𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗖𝗵𝘂𝗿𝗰𝗵.

These community meals provide more than just a warm meal — they offer friendship, connection, and a welcoming place for people to come together. Rotary members enjoyed helping prepare and serve meals while sharing conversations with members of our community.

A sincere thank you to the wonderful volunteers from the Uniting Church and everyone involved in making these evenings such a valued part of our community. Rotary is proud to support initiatives that strengthen community connection and care for others. 💛

As we celebrate 𝗡𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻𝗮𝗹 𝗩𝗼𝗹𝘂𝗻𝘁𝗲𝗲𝗿 𝗪𝗲𝗲𝗸 (𝟭𝟴–𝟮𝟰 𝗠𝗮𝘆), the Rotary Club of Phillip Island and San Remo would like to extend our heartfelt thanks to all the incredible volunteers across Bass Coast.

Every day, volunteers quietly make a difference — supporting community groups, sporting clubs, emergency services, schools, neighbourhood houses, charities, events, and those doing it tough. Your generosity, compassion, and willingness to give your time helps make Bass Coast the caring and connected community we are proud to call home.

Rotary is honoured to work alongside so many dedicated volunteers and community organisations throughout our region.

𝗧𝗼 𝗲𝘃𝗲𝗿𝘆 𝘃𝗼𝗹𝘂𝗻𝘁𝗲𝗲𝗿 — thank you for the countless hours you give, the lives you touch, and the difference you make. Your contribution does not go unnoticed.

𝗛𝗮𝗽𝗽𝘆 𝗡𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻𝗮𝗹 𝗩𝗼𝗹𝘂𝗻𝘁𝗲𝗲𝗿 𝗪𝗲𝗲𝗸, 𝟭𝟴–𝟮𝟰 𝗠𝗮𝘆! 💙💛

The Rotary Club of Phillip Island and San Remo was proud to donate $1,000 to the 𝗪𝗵𝗶𝘁𝗲𝗵𝗲𝗮𝗱𝘀 𝗖𝗿𝗲𝗲𝗸–𝗧𝗮𝗿𝗰𝗼𝗺𝗯𝗲 𝗙𝗶𝗿𝗲 𝗕𝗿𝗶𝗴𝗮𝗱𝗲 in recognition of the incredible support they provided to the Phillip Island CFA during the Longwood Fires earlier this year.

As part of Bass Coast Strike Team 0817, 16 members of the Phillip Island CFA deployed to the fires from 10–16 January, working alongside the dedicated volunteers from Whiteheads Creek–Tarcombe around the Hughes Creek area.

Our local firefighters spoke highly of the brigade’s generosity, teamwork, and tireless commitment to protecting their community. Despite already working around the clock since 7 January, the brigade welcomed our crews as part of their own team — sharing local knowledge, supporting operations, and ensuring everyone was looked after.

The donation will assist the brigade with plans to extend their station to include a meeting area, kitchen, and toilet facilities — an important project for a brigade that gives so much to its community.

Rotary is proud to support those who serve others, and we thank all CFA volunteers for the extraordinary work they do in protecting communities across Victoria. 🚒👏
