Welcome to the Rotary 2024-25 year.
Last year's theme: Create Hope in the World, spoke to the heart that Rotarians need in an ever-more challenging world, where negativity and individualism are often more prominent than generosity and community.
This year's theme: The Magic of Rotary, inspires us to remind our communities of the life-changing projects that Rotary engages in across the world. The Magic of Rotary comes through the energy and drive that we have among our members, in our Clubs and our districts, and that will call on as we continue projects that change lives.
Diversity, Engagement and Inclusion are high on our Agenda. All are welcome at Altona City Rotary.
The Rotary Club of Altona City will continue to have the Altona and Hobsons Bay Community as its focus, engaging with local families through our schools programs, and supporting those in need. We will continue to invest in mental health support.
Globally, we will actively engage in Rotary's Areas of Focus. Our goal is to enhance our local and global impact. Our most successful and sustainable projects and activities tend to fall in the following areas:
| Promoting peace | Fighting disease | Providing clean water |
| Saving mothers and children | Supporting education | Growing local economies |
| Protecting the environment |
Rotary Altona City welcomes and value's every member's contribution, whether it be serving at a Sausage Sizzle or successfully planning and executing larger projects. We look forward to a year of action, fun and fellowship.
Come and join us.

Past Rotarian Geoff Burnnard explaining the mechanics of the Time Capsule, as designed by Engineers Peter Whinney and Leonie Duane. The 7 large PVC containers containing mini-capsules lowered slowly into their berths as water was drained from the capsule.
In keeping with the theme "REFLECT, RESPECT, CELEBRATE, We are all part of the Story," and supported by the Australian Government through the National Australia Day Council (NADC), Rotary Altona City staged another successful event at the Central Square Shopping Centre.
Highlights included:
- Three wonderful genres of live music- Traditional Australian songs (Glenrowan Bush Band), Didgeridoo (Paul Kelly) and African Drumming (Newport Drummers);
- Face painting and balloon twisting providing fun and colour for children;
- Showbags containing a variety of gifts such as indigenous designed glasses wipe cloths, gym towels, notebooks, pens and brochures;
- Native seedling giveaways provided by Hobsons Bay Council;
- Refreshment vouchers for four Cafes;
- NADC videos showcasing the diversity of Australia Day Acknowledgements around the Country.
The photos below illustrate some key activities.
Congratulations to Henry for the being awarded the Altona College Year 12 Rotary Community Award, acknowledging the community work he has done- specifically within volleyball and student coaching. Presented by Rotarian Anne Morton at the Year 12 Awards Ceremony.
District Governor Ron Payne, an Educator whose career spanned 47 years, was delighted to present the 2023 Hobsons Bay Rotary Teacher Awards to the following teachers nominated by their schools:
- Three Encouragement Awards for early career stage teachers.
- One Achievement Award to Dean Commons, an experienced Drama teacher at Williamstown HS for his role in coordinating the Music Production Fame which ran for six shows with a 90% sell out rate in a 350-seat theatre.
- One Team Award for a team which had collaborated effectively to address an important new development.
Altona City Rotary's cycling group conducted a bicycle safety lesson for members of the Vietnamese Association in Hobsons Bay. A great use for the Louis Joel Carpark, and a wonderful afternoon. Many of these women grew up riding bikes in Vietnam and came out to Australia in the 80s as boat people. Afterwards, a Vietnamese banquet was shared.
