The Penrhos College Alumni Committee would like to invite current Year 12 students to apply for the 2024 Meg Melville Alumni Endeavour Award. This award will see an individual or group granted up to $5,000 to achieve something extraordinary for others once they have graduated. In addition to the grant money, this year’s recipient/s will also receive an optional mentoring opportunity with an Alumni Committee member to help develop and execute their idea.
Previous winning projects include:
- running mental health workshops

All Year 12 students at Penrhos College are eligible to enter; we do not assess your academic record. All you need is passion and a willingness to give back to the community. If you have an idea but are nervous about how you might deliver it, please get in touch and we can help guide your application.
