Petera Clamp was a wonderful Royal South Street Society volunteer for many years. The Petera Clamp Trust now gratefully supports the Instrumental Program that she enjoyed so much.

The Janette Clarke Trust was established in honour of Janette Clarke and Margaret Cochran who were best friends for life beginning in their early school days at Ballarat Clarendon College, where they loved performing together at Royal South Street Competitions. The Trust has been established to support the development of the school friendships through participation in the performing arts, just like the one that Margaret Cochran and Janette Clarke shared through participation in Choral and Instrumental sections at RSSS.
