Our Club has supported our local Police Citizens Youth Club (PCYC) in Daceyville through their Fit-for-Life program. This program is designed to engage youth aged 12 to 17 who have been identified as high risk of offending by our local police.
We have donated boxing gloves and padders for up to 40 persons who can participate in a class.
The PCYC is an organisation that encourages young individuals to use physical activity as an alternative to offending behaviour by offering them a safe and supportive environment.
Through this program the PCYC staff, NSW police force and volunteers put on a breakfast for all the students and then drive them to school to ensure 100% attendance on the days they are involved in the program.
Aya, our very recent Global Scholar from Japan, has written to update us on her life since she completed her studies at the University of NSW, where she received the degree of Master of Laws (specialisation in Human Rights Law and Policy) and was awarded Dean's List for "outstanding achievement in course", a fantastic achievement. She writes:
The Rotary Club of Botany Randwick is very pleased to be sponsoring three students from Alexandria Community School to sail on the Windeward Bound from Sydney to Brisbane, departing on 7 May for 7 days. This program aims to encourage youth development by supporting efforts towards international friendship and understanding. We will look forward to hearing from them on their return.
The Rotary Club of Botany Randwick again commemorated Anzac Day, with members attending and laying wreaths at several Dawn Services.
