The Ainger Public Speaking Awards
May 2012, 2013, 2014, 2015, 2016, 2017 The Ainger Awards are a public speaking competition for metropolitan high school students developed as an initiative of the Rotary Club of Richmond and the Ainger family in memory of past member Ern Ainger. The aim of this project is to encourage students to develop the art of effective speaking and their presentation skills. In 2014 we celebrated the 25th anniversary of the Ainger Awards, celebrating the participation of over 1200 students in this wonderful program. In the last 5 years the Rotary Club of Melbourne Park have increased their involvement in this project, and facilitate the organisation and running of the heats and final. |

Paper Planes Project
September 2010 RCMP organised a Paper Plane Project that was held at Richmond Housing Estate as part of the Moon Lantern Festival. This was an activity that engaged the children from the estate in making their own paper planes, and seeing how far they could fly. The day was a great success with much enjoyment had by the kids. |
