Well done Katherine! MCC you did it yet again.

Your Teacher does a great job and takes

the Rotary Four Way Speech seriously

Katherine, speaking in the 4 Way Speech competition

shared a story from the heart about FIFO workers, suicide

and how she wants a better deal for her FIFO dad

from Bernie Masters

Every year since about 1990,
I've been privileged to be the sponsor of the 4 Way Test Speech Competition
where year 11/12 students present a speech on a topic of their choice
but where the four principles of the 4 Way Test must be incorporated
. At this weekend's district conference in Fremantle,
the winner was Katherine Magpily.
Well done to Katherine and to all contestants.

Rotary Club of Karrinyup

Our Rotary Club of Karrinyup members, seen here with

Deputy Premier Hon.Roger Cook MLA,

at the launch and handover of the Earbus to the Earbus Foundation of WA .

The Earbus is a mobile ear clinic designed to serve

aboriginal children in the Kimberley region of WA.

Members of RC Karrinyup turned out in force for the handover

and launch of WA’s first community-funded mobile ear clinic

at the Stirling Farmers’ Market.

The community based market has been a major source of fundraising for the Earbus project.

The completed Earbus is the realization of a dream

for Professor Harvey Coates AO, Clinical Patron, Earbus Foundation of WA

, who three years ago envisaged a mobile 'go anywhere' clinic

capable of travelling to remote areas of the northwest of Western Australia.

Thanks to the passionate 'fund, design and build' campaign

of the RC Karrinyup, this dream has now become a reality.

The Earbus was launched on 2 April by Hon Roger Cook

MLA, Deputy Prime Minister and the new Minister for Health in WA.

Final touches to the vehicle, including the application

of Aboriginal children’s artwork have now been completed

and ensure the clinic is appealing to the youngsters it will serve.

The launch marks the operational hand-over of the bus

to Earbus Foundation of WA, a rapidly emerging WA-based charity,

which has already had a huge direct impact on Aboriginal children’s

hearing and learning in the Pilbara and the Goldfields.

The Foundation’s new Earbus, a medical/audiology unit on wheels

designed in partnership with the Rotary Club of Karrinyup,

is intended to launch the charity’s work in the Kimberley

once operational funding can be confirmed.

In the meantime, it is expected to find its way into other regions.

Two past presidents of the Rotary Club of Karrinyup

- Heather Leaney and Peter Durrant -

took up the Earbus “fund, design and build” campaign with a passion.

The club’s Charter member Ian McDonagh

led the charge to raise the necessary $220,000

while Vocational Director Nick Nedkoff together

with other Rotary Club of Karrinyup members managed the technical design

and build to Earbus Foundation’s operational requirements.

Earbus Chief Executive Officer Paul Higginbotham said:

“Rotary’s commitment to this project has been awe-inspiring.

We can’t wait to get this new Earbus on the road

and start delivering high-quality services to more and more regions of WA.”
