Year 10 Rotary Youth Driver Awareness Program
On Tuesday 9 August, all Year 10 students will take part in the Rotary Youth Driver Awareness (RYDA) program.
This is a road safety program aimed at reducing death and injury amongst young people on Australian roads. It focuses on the attitude and awareness of young people both as drivers and passengers.
This one-day program at The Hobart Showgrounds will consist of six interactive sessions conducted by local police, driving instructors, crash survivors, drug and alcohol experts and financial counsellors. All sessions are conducted by professional speakers in their field of expertise.
Students will need to make their own travel arrangements to and from the Showgrounds Grandstand via the Howard Road entrance, for a program beginning at 9.20am and concluding by 2.10pm.
Please note that Rotary has asked that students NOT be dropped off or picked up inside the Showgrounds. Could all students be picked up by 2.30pm or have made their own way home by then.
Please be mindful of the current COVID-19 protocols at Friends’. Students are only to attend if they are fit and well, displaying no symptoms (coughing, sore throat, shortness of breath). If this is not the case, please do not attend and notify the School Office as to why the student will be absent.
Students will be required to follow safe hygiene practices. It is recommended that all our students and staff wear masks in all indoor areas. Hand sanitiser will be available at the venue, though students are welcome to bring their own.
All students are required to wear their formal school uniform for this program. Bring a coat if the weather is wet. All students will need to bring their own food/drinks for recess and their own pen/pencil.
Rotary will be holding a barbecue for the students. Costs are $2 per sausage, $2 per can of soft drink or $5 for 2 sausages and can of soft drink. Veggie burgers will also be available, but must be pre-ordered. Students are free to bring their own food for lunch. Students will be asked before going which they are likely to do, buy or bring lunch.
Any queries can be directed to Ludmila Vitesnikova, especially concerns regarding the nature of the program. If any students have had a personal experience of road trauma, could Ludmila please be informed in the week prior to the event so that appropriate support is provided on the day.
Term 3 Art Club

Art Club encourages students to explore their ideas in a creative way. Students can be guided by their own interests or respond to a range of pre-planned art making experiences. No art background required. However, this is also a space for existing art students to further develop their art practice.
