Phillip Island VIEW Club

About

Phillip Island VIEW Club was formed in 1995.

Currently, the Club sponsors eight Smith Family Learning for Life students and is actively involved in fundraising activities to raise donations for The Smith Family programs.

Our Club raises money to support the Learning for Life Program of the Smith Family. While involved in this very worthwhile activity, we also enjoy fun and friendship with monthly outings to local cafes or places of interest both locally and "off the island". Two or three times a year we have theatre outings to matinees in Melbourne.

We are always open to new members, so please get in touch today and come and see what it's all about.
