introduction of Western Sydney MUNA in

2016.

• Provides students with a greater

understanding of UN.

learn about other Rotary programs.

MUNA – HOW IT WORKS

•Schools enter teams of 3 students

•Approximately 40 teams participate at the event.

•Teams are allocated a country 2 months prior to the

event – the need to learn as much as possible about the

context of the country they will be representing

(political status, religious, position within UN etc)

•Teams are provided with the resolutions 2 months in

advance. They prepare their responses based on

whether they are for the resolution, against the

resolution or wish to make an amendment.

D9685 MUNA – NATIONALLY RECOGNISED

• In 2015, SHORE School attended National

MUNA as the Runner Up of D9685 MUNA and

won.

• The team then took the opportunity to travel to

New York for the International Model UN.

• Our MUNA program receives enquiries from

clubs, schools and students around the country as

our website displays a professional view of the

program.

MUNA – 2016 DEVELOPMENTS

• New Website – Directs schools and clubs to the most

appropriate MUNA in the District.

• MUNA Operations Manual – Legacy for future clubs.

• Full review of program processes and operations to

bring the program into the 21st Century e.g. Online

voting.

• Western Sydney MUNA – to meet the long term

demand of the District.

MUNA – CHALLENGES AND OPPORTUNITES

• Western Sydney MUNA – spaces still

available for 2016!

• New host club 2018-2020 – interest from

Ryde and Beecroft.

• Developing a key contact list with the schools

– this is where local clubs can assist.

SCIENCE AND

ENGINEERING CHALLENGE

Gavin Ralston

A DAY THAT CAN CHANGE A LIFE

The Science &

Engineering Challenge

was developed

by The University of

Newcastle to encourage

students to include

science based subjects

in their final years of

high school.

Should we be here ?

Could we

do better?

The Challenge stimulates

and excites young

minds showing them

that you don’t have to

be a nerd to enjoy

science.

School teams

compete

against seven

other school

teams using

only the

materials and

equipment

provided

Students are allocated

to one of eight

Challenges available

on the day.

Challenges are as

diverse as

bridge building,

code breaking

&

creating electrical

circuits

8 schools

X

32 students

= 250 +.

IT WORKS!

Research findings

Participation in the Challenge:

• Increases student’s awareness of careers in

science & engineering.

• Increases interest in Science and Engineering

• Influences decisions to undertake science and

maths in high school

• Dramatically improves teamwork & self confidence

The Challenge is in its

17th year

and is a

national program.

DISTRICT 9685 INTERACT PRESENTATION 2016

District 9685 has 8 chartered clubs

The oldest being Abbotsleigh

The newest club Brisbane waters Secondary college.

My goal is that every Rotary club in D9685 should sponsor an Interact Club.

Realistically by year end I hope we can show progress.

DISTRICT INTERACT PRESENTATION 2016

Interact clubs helps to recognise and develop constructive leadership skills and personal integrity.

• Builds respect for the rights of others and emphasize acceptance of individual responsibility.

• To develop life skills, self development, time management, and to recognise the dignity and value of all useful occupations to serve society.

• To provide opportunities for gaining increased knowledge and understanding of community, national and world affairs.

DISTRICT 9685 INTERACT PRESENTATION 2016

A recent survey held in NSW schools, covered student connectedness, well being, schools and communities.

Survey results showed increased engagement at school, higher levels of school completion

and academic achievement.

DISTRICT 9685 INTERACT PRESENTATION 2016

Reduction in anti-social or disruptive behaviours.

Strategies for improving better connectedness to the school, families and community

Could be:-

Empowering students to have a voice.

Engaging community partners to provide a range of services that the school students need.

This to me is our Rotary entry point.

DISTRICT 9685 INTERACT PRESENTATION 2016

When you sponsor an Interact

Club it becomes a joint activity

Between the two clubs.

Students have the guidance of

Rotarians who help with

their chosen fundraising

Event.

DISTRICT 9685 INTERACT PRESENTATION 2016

Rotarians are encouraged to

• ATTEND INTERACT MEETINGS.

• ALL CLUB MEMBERS, NOT JUST LEFT TO THE YOUTH DIRECTOR.

Rotary clubs have a captive audience to discus other Rotary youth programs such as RYPEN,

Youth Exchange and RYLA.

DISTRICT 9685 INTERACT PRESENTATION 2016

May 2 will see the 2nd annual Interact conference sponsored

by district 9675. This year they have extended the invitation to district 9685 and d9670.

DISTRICT 9685 INTERACT PRESENTATION 2016
