Welcome to the Rotary Club of Canberra Sunrise
Flagship project - Model United Nations Assembly in Old Parliament House - August 2024.
We are a small and motivated breakfast club with members drawn from a wide range of vocations. Our goal is to serve our local community with a strong focus on youth. Our two primary activities are the Model United Nations Assembly (MUNA) which is an event for high school students held annually at the Museum of Australian Democracy and DreamCricket, which provides opportunities for primary school children with disabilities to play cricket. We enjoy the friendship and fellowship associated with Rotary service.

A group of Club members, other Rotarians, and BbP volunteers today helped Buk Bilong Pikinini load approximately 300 boxes of donated books onto seven pallets ready for shipment to PNG. The books will be used to set up school libraries across the country. Thank you Ainslie, Kim and Ray. I hope your muscles aren't too sore.
Rotary Club of Canberra Sunrise Supports Sony Holiday Camp at Canberra Grammar School
 
On Monday 9 December 2024, the Rotary Club of Canberra Sunrise joined forces with Canberra Grammar School to provide a barbeque lunch for the Sony Foundation’s Children’s Holiday Camp Program.
This program is a unique respite activity that sees high school and university students take on the responsibility for the care of children with disability, allowing their families to have a valuable weekend off! The program began in 1998 with one camp in one Sydney school. Since then, it has expanded to 30 camps in 50 schools and universities.
Annually:
  • Sony Foundation funds 29 Sony Foundation Camps across Australia, with:
    • 50 schools and universities involved.
    • 670+ children enjoying the holiday of a lifetime. 
  • 1150+ student carers take part in a formative and eye-opening experience as a carer.
     
  • $1.8 million – the value of respite care provided free of charge to families every year.
The Rotary Club of Canberra Sunrise's Kim, Rosemary, Greg, Roger (Coordinator) and Neil were happy to lend a hand and provide the barbeque lunch for the participating Canberra Grammar School students and their special guests.
