The Bendigo Jockey Club was an excellent venue for this year’s welcome dinner, with everyone enjoying the evening.

The official welcome dinner for Bendigo students was again an opportunity for Bendigo Regional Clinical School to acknowledge the importance of individual contributions and expertise in the community that forms a big part of the journey for all medical students.

The Welcome Dinner this year was held in mid-February at Silks, Bendigo Jockey Club.  Auntie Faye Carter and her son Rodney opened the evening with a smoking ceremony in their Welcome to Country.  The evening was filled with fun, good food, relaxation and cheer.

As is tradition, two students were presented with awards during the evening.  The Shaker Issa Award went to Adelene Hilbig for the most outstanding Year 4 student for 2012 and the 2012 John Gault Award went to Jennifer Tang for her outstanding academic performance in Year 3.

Three Excellence in Teaching Awards were presented by the University of Melbourne’s Director of Medical Student Education, Professor Julian Wright, to Dr Patrick Cooney, Mr Damian Cleeve and Dr John Edington.
