For many years Geelong East Rotary has provided $1,000 for a scholarship awarded to a full-time student enrolled at The Gordon.
 
On Wednesday 28 August 2024, Rotarians Alison Marshall and Jenny Acopian attended The Gordon Scholarship Evening on behalf of Geelong East Rotary. The event was held in The Captain’s Room at GMHBA Stadium and attracted a wide range of donors including charitable foundations, community organisations, local and national businesses and individuals.
 
This year our recipient was Cameron Synan, a 17-year-old young lady who is studying her VCE full time at The Gordon. She lives with her older sister Riley who is about to complete her Paramedic studies at Victoria University.  Cameron describes her sister as her rock and her role model. Cameron was too shy to come on stage and instead her certificate was handed to her teacher but then she relaxed and was happy to have her photograph taken. We wish Cameron all the best in her studies and her plans to become a nurse in the longer term.
 
Last year’s recipient, Chantelle Mc Roberts, is doing very well in her Diploma of Nursing studies and hopes to become a full-time student at Deakin University next year.
