Developing the next generation of leaders is the core of Rotary's support for youth and young people in the greater Caloundra area.
Caloundra Rotary - like Rotary Clubs across Australia - sponsors young people in the development of skills in the areas of communication, leadership, road safety education and driver awareness, resilience and self esteem and in furthering their career aspirations in the areas of mathematics and science.
The National Youth Science Forum (NYSF) has been operating for over 30 years and its aim is to encourage young Australians to be the next generation of leading scientists, engineers and mathematics experts supporting a sustainable future for our nation. Students moving into Year 12 who wish to follow careers in Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics are introduced to research and researchers and encouraged to achieve excellence in their undertakings by helping to develop their communication and interpersonal skills.
Each year, Caloundra Rotary sponsors two students to attend NYSF.
Nicole and Jaime were sponsored to the 2018 NYSF
They will be joining us on Tuesday morning to tell us what they learned of science - and about themselves when they attended NYSF2018.
