We are very excited to announce the newly appointed board of the Rotaract Club of East Torrens. As the sponsor club, we are thrilled to support these young leaders in taking action to make a positive difference in the local community and the world. Also a big congratulations to Ashlee Leach for her induction as President!
We believe in developing the next generation of leaders. Our club runs and supports a variety of youth programs to help younger leaders build leadership skills, expand education and learn the value of service.
Recently we sponsored two lucky participants, Tyler and Magnolia from Heritage College to attend on the Rotary Youth Sailing Challenge, a 5-day voyage on South Australia’s square-rigged training ship One & All.
Recently we completed our project to erect a fence around the vegetable patch at Paradise Primary School. We loved the opportunity to work within our community and help out where we can, but it makes it so much better when you receive these wonderful thank you cards from the children
At the end of 2020, the Rotary Club of Campbelltown sponsored and helped establish the Interact Club of Charles Campbell College. Interact Clubs involve members between the ages of 14 and 18 – our secondary students. At the same time, through Nikki the chair of our club’s Youth Committee, we supported Charles Campbell College to establish an EarlyAct Club for students in the primary years, up to the age of 13. The mission of EarlyAct is to promote goodwill, understanding and peace through student service - so that with the committed citizenship and effective leadership they can improve the quality of life of their school, local and global communities. At a young age, students can easily be encouraged to be caring and helpful. Young people are open to recognise the dignity and worth of each individual, thereby building their respect for others. Earlyacters engage in character building activities that prepare them for leadership roles - they carry out projects which benefit others. In addition to supporting their school’s Breakfast Club, the EarlyAct Club has initiated a Backpack Project to help those experiencing homelessness. Three members of the board of the new Earlyact club - President Lily, Vice President Tahlia, and Treasurer Ruby discussed their project to the club below.
As the host club of the RYLA District 9510 this year, we are proud to have opened the Rotary Youth Leadership Awards seminar this past weekend, a training camp for personal and professional development!
