Bridie is away at schoolies currently but her Mum has supplied the followimg: 

"Bridie is very excited to be heading to Copenhagen in mid-January next year as your Rotary Youth Exchange student. She now has two confirmed host families. Her first host family lives just a 15-minute train ride from the centre of Copenhagen, and Bridie will attend Gefion High School right in the city. Her second host family is an older couple who reside in a beautiful waterfront apartment overlooking the Royal Palace.

Bridie has also been booked on the three-week Euro Tour in May, as well as a two-week school camp in Europe later in the year. In preparation for her departure, she has been busy organising everything she needs and has already started learning Danish through Duolingo.

One of her counsellors, Thomas, has been an invaluable source of information and support as she prepares for her 12 months abroad. Bridie is looking forward to representing Kenmore Rotary and Australia during her exchange adventure."

Opportunity for members of Clubs in the Huang Cluster to get together for an informal meeting. There will be a cash bar

The objective of RYTS is to bridge the gap between school and the "real world," focusing on practical life skills and self-discovery.

Two senior students (Lyllian and Charvee) from Kenmore State High were sponsored by Kenmore Rotary will be speaking about their experiences in attending this Seminar at the end of last year.

Lyllian says "It was a great experience! It's honestly such a unique camp. From just going to grade camps through school, it was so different. You're around like minded people, both leaders and participants, have structure for each day, and just did so many activities that helped improve ourselves individually as well as how we interact with others. I'm really grateful to Kenmore Rotary for sponsoring me, because you value us young people."

This is your opportunity to discuss suggestions or issues you may have.

Jason will be leading the discussion on Club Communications.
