Sacred Heart College is proud of Year 10 student Matilda (Tilly) Matthews, who featured as the guest speaker at the Kyneton Rotary dinner on Monday 9 February.
Tilly’s invitation followed her achievements at the conclusion of 2025, where she was the dual recipient of both Kyneton Rotary Awards: the Nicholas Turang Public Speaking Award and the Service Above Self Award.
During her address to members, Tilly captivated the Rotary members by sharing the driving forces behind her success. Her speech touched on several key pillars of her life. These included education & sport (her dedication to learning and her love for staying active), community endeavours (her ongoing commitment to local initiatives) and the spirit of adventure (her passion for travel and exploring the wider world).
Tilly spoke eloquently about the importance of civic duty, expressing her sincere gratitude for the awards and the accompanying prize money. The highlight of the evening was Tilly’s closing sentiment. She left the room with a powerful reminder of why community service matters, quoting: "The best way to find yourself is to lose yourself in the service of others"
The Kyneton Rotary members were impressed by Tilly’s poise, maturity, and vision. We congratulate Tilly on being such a wonderful ambassador for Sacred Heart College and for the Macedon Ranges community.
