The Peter Daley Scholarship Award provides an opportunity for all Active Club members to apply for financial support by way of a Scholarship grant for their current tertiary studies. The Scholarship award is offered jointly by the Club and Cunninghams because of the shared value by the Club and John Cunningham of the importance of tertiary education and the opportunity to establish vocational skills. The Scholarship program is another example of our Club’s values in action and is named after the Queenscliff Club member who exemplified those values, Peter Daley.

Peter received Life Membership of Queenscliff SLSC in 1999 and was Club President for many years. Peter was passionate about everything, but especially the personal development of his fellow Club members.

In honour of Peter Daley’s commitment to the personal development of Queenscliff members, the Club accepted John Cunningham’s suggestion and renamed the scholarship in memory of Peter.

We fondly remember Peter who passed away on 17 July 2014 at age 68 years.

About the Sponsor

John Cunningham is a highly regarded real estate identity in Australia and a true veteran of the industry. He began his career with a very simple philosophy, to establish business relationships built on trust and transparency while delivering first class service and results for his clients. Cunningham’s operates over four offices across Manly, Balgowlah, Dee Why and Avalon Beach

John has been a keen supporter and sponsor of Queenscliff Club for many years.  John says “When I was originally approached by Peter to look at putting a tertiary support program together, I was immediately in favour of doing what we could to support the idea. It did not take us long to put the bones together and the Peter Daley scholarship program was born with both Cunninghams and QSLSC contributing equally”.

    Harry Sole

    2nd Year apprentice (Electrical)

    I was very grateful for the scholarship which I used to help pay for my electrician tools and I am now half way through the second year of my 3 year TAFE course and 4 year apprenticeship. It was great to be recognised for doing extra volunteer stuff as well as being an IRB competitor and doing my patrols. Just want to say thanks to Cunninghams and the Club for my Peter Daley Scholarship.

    Studying In Canberra at ANU

    I am a third-year student studying a Bachelor of Music (Flute Performance Major) and Criminology at the Australian National University in Canberra. The funds generously provided by Cunninghams for the Peter Daley Tertiary Scholarship have significantly helped me afford many university study materials, with the most significant being a new laptop and lots of textbooks!
