Royal South Street Society Encouragement Awards

For many years the Club has offered encouragement awards to girls competing at the South Street competitions.

Currently we recognise girls taking part in the Speech and Drama sections by awarding two Maureen Christie Memorial Prizes, named for a charter member of our Club, who was an enthusiastic supporter of these competitions.

We also present prizes to the best female debaters determined by the adjudicators in the heats of each grade.  These prizes are match by awards to the best male debaters by the Ballarat East Rotary Club.
