Rotary Youth Driver Awareness (RYDA)
RYDA is a community based initiative of Rotary with Rotary partnering those organisations in our community which have a responsibility for or interest in road safety for our youth. It has been developed in consultation with the RMS and the NSW Government Departments of Education and Training, Health and Police. Local Councils and the business and philanthropic community support the program. This one-day program is designed to reinforce the K-12 road safety curricula already being implemented in Schools and provide an opportunity for Year 11 students to access additional road safety resources. ,

ENGINEERING AND SCIENCE CHALLENGE
This program targets students from the early years in school to secondary. Here in our picture is the winning St Mary's team who won the National Super Challenge competition.
The Science and Engineering Challenge is a nationwide STEM* outreach program presented by the University of Newcastle in partnership with communities, Rotary clubs, universities and sponsors. Through the Challenge, students experience aspects of Science and Engineering which they would not usually see in their school environment. The Challenge runs a range of programs but focuses on inspiring students in year 10 to consider a future career in science and engineering by choosing to study the enabling sciences and mathematics in years 11 and 12.
*STEM is the acronym for Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics

ROTARY YOUTH PROGRAM OF ENRICHMENT (RYPEN) participants come from varying backgrounds with different life, peer, home, academic and cultural experiences and are between the ages of 14 – 17. The main focus is introducing life skills and fundamental concepts that will start kids thinking about the transition that they will be making from kids to young adults, forming their own values and moral standards, and broadening the horizons culturally, socially and academically. It runs over a weekend and is supervised by Rotary Club members. Ryan was the recent participant at Myuna Bay.

Youth Exchange is an official program of Rotary International and allows around 8000 students to exchange annually to around 60 different countries.
As a Rotary Exchange student, you will spend one year living in another country, usually with three or four host families. You will become part of those families and their community. These Rotary accredited families are volunteers who will welcome and care for you, supervise your year and introduce you to their culture and lifestyle.
In your host country you will learn another language, experience different foods, study different subjects, enjoy a new culture and enjoy a new way of living and most likely need to learn a new language. You will learn a great deal about yourself and gain confidence and self-sufficiency.
You will attend school in your local community, as well as participating in Rotary and community activities. At the same time you will make new friends, see exciting places and experience adventures that will take a lifetime to recount.
