MERMAID BEACH ROTARY CLUB

MERRIMAC STATE SCHOOL AND ROTARIANS IN PARTNERSHIP FOR BETTER EDUCATION.

On Tuesday afternoon 27th July at a School Assembly, Rotarians from the Mermaid Beach Rotary Club presented 100 copies of the Usborn Illustrated Dictionary to students of the Merrimac State Primary School, on the Gold Coast.

The Usborn Illustrated dictionary is a comprehensive dictionary with over a thousand colour illustrations, straightforward definitions, examples of sentence construction and pronunciation guides for tricky words.

The Dictionaries also contain basic information on easily understandable conventions of written English and a brief history of the English language.

The attractiveness of these illustrated dictionaries will be of great value in the development of our young students and makes a perfect reference book for children beginning their SATs.

The highlight of the School Assembly was the presentation of suitably inscribed Dictionaries with their names to the Merrimac School Captains: Shaneen Kirley, Ethan Paikea, Diana Mendiola and Brodie Hattin.
