The Echuca Bowls Club is on a mission to raise funds for development of new club rooms with the project expected to cost up to $3m. Their current club rooms are in dire need of replacement and they are raising funds through a range of events, raffles and public appeals.

We were delighted to be able to donate $2000 towards the new club rooms a few weeks ago and we wish the club all the best with their fundraising efforts!

For more information about Echuca Bowls Club, check out their website: https://echuca.bowls.com.au/

Echuca Bowling Club has been through the wars.

Day 2
Saturday 26 September
Yarrawonga to Echuca covering 266kms

The Big Ride crew will depart from the Murray River Boat ramp, ready to tackle day 2

We couldn’t think of a better place to stop than the Tocumwal Beach where we are extremely well looked after by the Lions Club of Tocumwal & District

That night we stop off in Echuca, named in August as Victoria’s Top Tourism Town for 2026

(Just quietly it’s a pretty stunning place to see from the river!!)

Big thank you also to the Rotary Club of Echuca Moama Inc for their support in providing accommodation and facilities for our team for the night

Can’t make all 9 days, but live in the area? Jump on your ski and join us for what will be a great day to kick off our challenge

🦘 What have I enjoyed most in Australia? 🦘
I'm enjoying the cultural exposure and engagement with the people here.

🐅 What will I take back to Malaysia? 🐅
I wish we can work on the policy implementation consistency, emphasise multidisciplinary collaboration and improve mental health support for staff.

Mimie
Hosts: Jo Hill
Malaysian Schools: Smk Kajang Utama Kuses & Seri Firdausi D Utama
Host School: Echuca Twin Rivers Specialist School

🦘 What have I enjoyed most in Australia? 🦘
Two beautiful weeks in Echuca & Moama, and every single day has been filled with wonderful people, new experiences, and unforgettable memories ❤️ A huge thank you to the Rotary Clubs for the amazing hospitality and for making us feel so welcomed. And a special thank you to Jo for being the best host ever!

🐅 What will I take back to Malaysia? 🐅
I will bring back the knowledge, experiences, and teaching practices I gained from my time at Echuca Twin Rivers Specialist School and apply them to special education in Malaysia. This experience has given me a broader understanding of inclusive education, multidisciplinary collaboration, classroom strategies, assistive technology, and ways to support students with diverse needs. I hope to share what I have learned with my colleagues and use these experiences to contribute to creating more supportive, engaging, and inclusive learning environments for students with special educational needs in Malaysia.🇲🇾❤️🇦🇺

MEET OUR VISITING TEACHERS!

Jeevi
Hosts: Graeme and Merrin Lynas
Malaysian School: SK Puchong Perdana
Host School: Kalianna School Bendigo

🦘 What have I enjoyed most in Australia? 🦘
My two-week experience at Kalianna School as part of the Special Education Externship Program has been highly meaningful and enriching. I gained valuable insights into inclusive and student-centred special education practices, particularly through active involvement in the school's vocational training pathways. A key learning experience was observing and participating in the daily vocational programs, including sizzling sausages and food preparation at Bunnings Warehouse.

🐅 What will I take back to Malaysia? 🐅
Overall, the experience at Kalianna has strengthened my understanding of the importance of real-life, hands-on learning and vocational pathways in preparing students with special educational needs for greater independence and participation in the community, gaining first hand experience of how vocational learning can be meaningfully integrated into their daily educational program.

This program was made possible due to a Rotary International Global Grant.

🦘 What have I enjoyed most in Australia? 🦘
I particularly enjoyed using the PODD communication book and participating in the Friday Work Skills activities, as they enabled me to connect and communicate with students while supporting them to develop independence, practical work skills, community participation, recycling and enterprise skills.

🐅 What will I take back to Malaysia? 🐅
I will bring back and apply practical work skills, community-based activities and enterprise programmes to strengthen our students’ independence, responsibility and work readiness. I also hope to enhance multidisciplinary teamwork and collaboration to provide more coordinated support for our students’ overall wellbeing and development.
