About Dame Phyllis Frost
Team Frost is named after Dame Phyllis Frost in recognition of her charity work for others.
She started the `Keep Australia Beautiful’ campaign and was associated with the `Freedom from Hunger’ campaign for thirty years, twelve of which she served as the Victorian chairperson and one as world chairperson in 1969.
She is patron of the Victoria Relief Committee and has been a member since 1963 and honorary life counsellor, Victorian Women’s Prison Council, since 1999. She was appointed as Dame Commander of the Order of the British Empire on the 1st of January 1974 for outstanding service to the community, having been appointed as Commander of the Order of the British Empire in 1963.
The tireless hours she spent with women inmates saw the Victorian Government recognise her achievements by renaming the Deer Park Metropolitan Women’s Correctional Centre the Dame Phyllis Frost Centre.
She worked with more than 47 mainly charitable committees and organisations and devoted her life to speaking for young people who, in many case, had no voice. From a very young age Dame Phyllis was absolutely committed to strengthening and building communities, not just in Victoria, but around the world.
Dame Phyllis Frost Died in 2004 aged 87 years. Pauline Osmond summed up her mothers’ life “I think she was always someone who liked to be a champion of the underdog. She wasn’t a political person in the party sense and she wasn’t a wealthy woman. She was passionate about the causes she believed in, and they weren’t the popular causes, she would try and put the wrongs right.”
As a team we are lucky to be associated with such a fantastic role model and hope to do her name proud in every aspect of our schooling, especially when it comes to supporting our Learning Team Project.
2017 Frost Activity
From Monday 26th of June to Friday 30th of June, Frost Learning Team is striving to raise$10,000 for 10 charities this year in the hope of making a difference in the lives of people who are struggling. We are looking forward to working as a whole Frost team and working towards achieving as many of our goals as possible. This is the fourth year in a row that the Frost Learning Team have fundraised for the week.
Mr Scott Antony and Ms Deana Mihalos, 2016 Frost Learning Team Leaders, on behalf of the Frost Learning Team received the City of Casey Community Fundraising Event Award at a special ceremony on Australia Day 2017 for raising over $5,000 for the Leukaemia Foundation, which goes to helping find a cure, as well as supporting families and people diagnosed with Leukaemia.
The Leukaemia Foundation and Berwick College have been working closely together for a number of years with having a few students, past and present, having gone through treatment for Leukaemia and battling it whilst being at school.
