Our current projects at St Gabriel's School at Castle Hill are completed. At the request of St Gabriel's we supplied and erected a storage shed for all their outdoor activities equipment. Through Tom Westcott's company Alfresco we supplied shade sails for their outdoor learning area.
Thanks to Tom's design and creativity, the shade sails look amazing, and have turned a disused outdoor area into a very friendly play area for the children. We all had a great time working at the school, and Brenden Jones and his team were a pleasure to work with. |

Rotary provides education, immunizations, birth kits, and mobile health clinics. Women are taught how to prevent mother-to-infant HIV transmission, how to breast-feed, and how to protect themselves and their children from disease
