Rachel’s Rotary
The Rotary Club of Canberra Sunrise meets for breakfast each week at
Regatta Point and it was a special meeting last week when our daugh-
ter, Rachel, and another recipient, Phoebe, were both acknowledged
with a Pride of Workmanship Award. Rachel was nominated by her
father, Don, and endorsed by her boss, Dr Justin Garrick, the Head of
Canberra Grammar School.
Rachel is the Events Manager at Canberra Grammar and through her
10 years in this job she has organised many special events including
the annual fete, probably the larges annual event, to perhaps a break-
fast for the Head and some parents, a funeral service for an ex-student,
the Sony Camp for handicapped children and the annual Dawn Service
on Anzac Day just to name a few.
Dr Garrick stated that "she has the highest regard of her colleagues and
of the Canberra Grammar School community. She gives with passion,
skill and great personal generosity to all that she does and she has
been instrumental to the success of countless School events over the
past 10 years.
She works long out of hours and always with good humour and total
commitment to the life and community of the School. She cares equally
for students, staff and families and, in so doing embodies everything we
seek to achieve in our events. She is supremely organised, creative in
her vision, collaborative in nature and, above all, she never seeks or ac-
cepts the limelight that she deserves.”
This was a wonderful family occasion and an opportunity for us to
acknowledge our pride in our daughter for both her work and personal
life.
