ROTARY Club of Bendigo South scholarship  recipient Keira Tuohey was guest speaker at the club’s recent dinner meeting.
The East Loddon P12 College student received the award for her efforts, application and achievements demonstrated across Year 10 last year, including VCE subjects
Keira told Rotarians of life growing up on the family farm in Serpentine and shared stories of her experiences at the School for Student Leadership, where in Year 9 she spent a term living near Glenormiston at the Gnurad Gundidj campus. 
She said this experience assisted her in gaining independence and being ready for
the opportunities that are ahead post-secondary school. 
It also motivated her to explore international travel with a Net Fit camp to New Zealand in January and now has her sights on further international travel through East Loddon P12 College Turkish exchange program next year.
