Rotary Self Achievement Program - RYSAP

Gloucester Rotary has just completed this weekend a Year 10 Project for Students at Gloucester High School. RYSAP Rotary Self Achievement Program The weekend starts on Friday afternoon with the 38 students settling in to their accommodation which is in the school class rooms. They have a sleep over on the Friday. Boys in one area and girls n another area of course. They are looked after by our Rotarians who sleep over. The sleep part is limited s they all giggle and chat till 2am even under great threats. They are a great bunch of young people. The games start on Friday afternoon supervised by Rotarians. Then to the showers and BBq tea. Settle into the Hall for hear the guest speakers. Talking about job interviews, Mental Health, grooming and many other topics. There is lots of time put into getting them outside their comfort zones. Saturday there are further speakers and activities. Saturday evening the students and Rotarians dress for a dinner party and dance. Held at the Uniting Church Hall. Here the students are given advice on deportment, eating etiquette and dancing. It is a busy weekend and the students are then collected from the dance by their parents. I am attaching some photographs of the Friday and part of Saturday. You maybe able to put them on the website for a change of scenery. Other photos are available on the Photo Gallery   Yours in Rotary Service Ashleigh Hickman Member Gloucester Rotary Club
