Penrhos College Alumni Committee
The Penrhos College Alumni Endeavour Award was established in 2014 to provide financial support to a Year 12 student to do something extraordinary for others. The award has its origins in the For Others Club, which was established in 1957 at the MLC South Perth Angelo St School. As part of the For Others Club, students had to carry out activities in the community to support those less fortunate than themselves.
In recognition of her extraordinary contribution to the College, the award has been re-named the Meg Melville Alumni Endeavour Award.
The Alumni Committee invite Year 12 students to nominate for the Meg Melville Alumni Endeavour Award with the aim of achieving something extraordinary for others post-secondary schooling.
This year we will also be offering a very special mentoring opportunity with an Alumni Committee member (Optional).
