NAIDOC
Last Friday, 40 students, accompanied by Mr Mullavey and Mrs McInness, attended the Many Mobs Walk across Lake Mulwala. Following the walk, students participated in a variety of activities designed to promote cultural awareness and celebrate the rich heritage of our local Indigenous communities.
The event encouraged cultural awareness, reconciliation, inclusion, respect, and community connection among young people from across our region. It was a wonderful day of learning, reflection, and celebration, enjoyed by all who attended.
Become a host family.
Have you ever thought about hosting a student from overseas?
You do not need to be a Rotarian or have a child participating in the program to be considered as a suitable host family.
There is no typical family structure required and acceptable. Family might have small children older children or no children living at home all that is expected is that a caring and friendly family and home atmosphere is provided.
Exchange students are between the ages of 15 years and 18 years and will be attending a secondary school in the area of the host club host families voluntarily open their homes to the students for periods of approximately 3 to 4 months. This time provides an opportunity for everyone to develop a lifeline lifetime of friendships to learn a different culture and to gain many other rewarding experiences.
Perhaps one of your children have thought about becoming an exchange student in the future.
This is a great steppingstone in learning about what’s involved in this amazing opportunity if you’re interested contact cate.febey@yh.org.au
