Rotary Club of Freshwater Bay – District 9455

A fresh, young club

Our members are women and men aged in their 20s to 80s from a diverse background of nationalities.

Microscopes in Schools

Our signature project has seen more than 190,000 students discover the microscopic world with some 17,500 microscopes in 600 schools sponsored by over 100 Rotary Clubs.

Buddy benches

No child needs to feel lonely, with the buddy benches we make and donate to schools.

Supporting tomorrow's leaders

Our many youth projects include sponsoring applicants to attend a variety of Rotary-run camps and seminars, presenting awards to primary schools and much more.

Eye screening

We provide free eye screening checks for 5 and 6 year olds at primary schools throughout the Perth metropolitan areas.

Launched in 2008, we are a modern, active club of community-minded women and men aged in their 20s to 80s with a vision of world peace and the drive to make it happen.

Our Rotary Club meets weekly on a Wednesday evening for 1 hour in the metropolitan Perth suburb of Mount Claremont to plan and execute meaningful projects here in Western Australia and overseas. All our club meetings are live streamed on Facebook, to help you stay connected even if you can't physically attend.

What sets Rotary Clubs apart from other non profit organizations is our fundamental code of ethics (known as the "Four Way Test") and the fact that every cent raised for a cause goes directly to that project.

If you would like to make a difference, locally or globally, why not join us?

Microscopes in Schools

We are coordinating the distribution of magnifying microscopes to primary schools throughout Australia to help stimulate an interest in the world around us.

We are seeking donations to build permanent accommodation for those displaced by the earthquake / tsunami / liquefaction in Palu, Central Sulawesi.

We provide free eye screening checks of 3 common eye problems for 5 and 6 year olds at primary schools throughout the Perth metropolitan areas.

Donation Drives

We collect non-perishable foodstuff, toys, knitted blankets, fans and more to donate to Moort Care to help the disadvantaged people in Perth.

Every October we present Pride of Workmanship Awards to local businesses or employees who give exceptional service.

Tax deductible donations can be made to Rotary projects which assist disadvantaged communities and humanitarian aid projects overseas.

We received such positive feedback that we have now made this an annual event. Our performers for 2022 have been confirmed, and tickets are available at www.trybooking.com/BUOFO Food hampers will be available for pre-order; these will be available closer to the date, and we will notify attendees when orders are…
