Challenge day was June 3 rd 2010 and in all ten schools and 265 students were keen to compete. To ensure the smooth running of the day we’d invited a number of retired tradesmen to come and assist Rotarians in the role of supervisors. All indications from these individuals are that they enjoyed the involvement and would be willing to do so again.
This year the Rotary Club of Port Pirie instigated a youth camp which was held from the 12 th to the 14 th of March at “Errappa”, Iron Knob. After a significant amount of planning and fundraising, 18 children aged between 9 and 13 were selected for the trip along with 6 volunteers and 2 Rotary exchange students. The children came from various schools in Port Pirie and the surrounding district.
The Rotary Club of Port Pirie co-hosted the inaugural Southern Flinders Business Employment and Training Awards Gala Night on May 1st, 2010 with ninety-three nominations received for the sixteen categories.
Co-hosts were the Port Pirie Chamber of Commerce, and the Regional Development Board, Yorke and Mid North, who presented the Training Awards. The Rotary Awards were presented for Pride of Workmanship.
