Eva presented to the Club tonight on her recent participation in the National Youth Science Forum. The forum was a 9 days live-in event at ANU - Australian National University Canberra.

The National Youth Science Forum (NYSF) Year 12 Program gives students who are about to start year 12 a broader understanding of study and career options available in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM).

Staying on campus at university colleges, students are immersed in science and technology. Participants:

• participate in tours of science and technology facilities,
• learn about cutting-edge research,
• engage with industry partners and research providers,
• learn about university, training and STEM career pathways,
• mix with like-minded students their age from all over Australia,
• participate in social and team-building activities, and
• network with former NYSF participants

Delivered by youth for youth, alumni of the Program return each year to help deliver each session through the NYSF Student Staff Leadership Program.

 

 

 

Thanks to Eva for an informative presentation on the NYSF and we all hope your future career grows from the introduction to the different science and engineering fields. It was great to see Eva back at the Club once again. 

 

 

The last month has seen a number of projects for our Club - the Food Share Easter Egg Hunt, the Sunshine Ride, the Days for Girls Walk, the Royal Children's Hospital Good Friday Appeal and Easter - Thank you to all the members who helped out. These events provide the opportunity to help the community and display what Rotary is about. Well done.

STARTTS have been working in partnership with PCYC to establish a community garden for newly settled refugee families to enjoy and spend time gardening. Bert & Peter have helped with the installation of a rainwater tank.

 

On Friday 17th April - Alison walked down the aisle to marry Stuart. A beautiful love story which began back in their school days and by strange the twists and turns of life - have been reunited after 35 years. Alison looked absolutely stunning on the day which they enjoyed with in the presence of their 7 children.

Good luck and best wishes from everyone to the married couple.

 

The RAWCS trip to Nepal was a huge success, the team completed all the work required to build a new kitchen / dining hall in a disused building. Plus refurbish the container kitchen ready to be relocated to another school to provide meals for the students under the school student sponsorship program.

 

Thanks
