Many thanks to Rotary Clubs of Bendigo South, Chelsea, Manningham City and Warrandyte Donvale with Box Hill Central who have each contributed $2,500 (totalling $12,500) to help fund the installation of an electric transformer to support Shurmo Borehole Water System, benefitting a total of 17,788 people with access to a safe, clean, affordable and sustainable water supply.
Our Environmental Committee team held their final catch up for 2025 over a lunch hosted by member Julian and his wife Jess.
Great conversation over a delicious lunch using ingredients harvested from their kitchen garden made for an enjoyable meeting.
Members were also treated to a tour of the organic home garden before sitting down to lunch which included dishes inspired by the available seasonal produce including home grown parsnips, broad beans, radicchio, garlic, brown onion, chives and herbs and cured kalamata olives
Our heartfelt thanks go to Julian and Jessica for generously opening their home and hosting the team with such warmth and hospitality.
The atmosphere of friendship, inspiration, and shared purpose made the gathering truly memorable and luckily the weather turned out to be just delightful.
Rotary Club of Box Hill Central has been a long standing sponsor of the Koorie Student of the Year Award at Box Hill Institute. Since 2019, we have extended our support through annual Koorie Access and Equity Scholarships, providing practical financial assistance early in the year for student with financial difficulities.

Around 30 club members and partners gathered at Dumpling King for a special dinner to celebrate and farewell Craig Hoath, one of the charter members of our club and a dedicated Rotarian with 35 years of community service.
Craig has recently relocated to Seymour and has now transferred his membership to the Rotary Club of Seymour. The evening began with remarks from Charter President Brian McPhail, who reflected on Craig’s remarkable Rotary journey and his family’s deep roots in the Box Hill community:
It was a great honour for our club to host the Rotary Four-Way Test Speech Competition for District 9815 Year 10 students at our meeting venue on 11 November.
This annual program promotes excellence in public speaking and encourages students to explore and reflect on the principles of Rotary’s Four-Way Test. Sponsored Rotary Clubs work in partnership with local schools and Toastmasters International to provide students with a valuable development experience.
Participating students gain exposure to the ideals and ethical values of Rotary, along with the opportunity to build confidence, strengthen self-esteem, and develop proficiency in presenting to a large audience.
Bookings now open for the annual IWD breakfast at Box Hill Town Hall.
7:15-9:15am Wednesday March 4 2026. Book here for a single or table.
