Hi All,
Last week we had Jason and Jacob from Colt (Cooking over lunch time) and Bolt (Bicycles over lunch time) Schools program. Jason explained to us that a large
number of primary and secondary students are disengaged from learning. However working with these students once a week over two terms, discussing
social behavioral issues while teaching them about bike maintenance has achieved positive outcomes for the participants. The students participating have
shown improvement in self-esteem, confidence, classroom behavior and increased motivation to name a few.

This is a real grass roots program and fits in very well with Rotary’s “Basic Education & Literacy” theme for September.
"Education is a social process, Education is growth, Education is not a preparation for life; education is life itself. " a quote from John Dewey
The big news last week of course is Ken scooping up the Jokers Wild jackpot. I just read our web page and learnt we really have two winners. Congratulations
Lyn and Ken!
Lyn and Ken!
RI President Riseley is asking Rotary members to work together to advance the tradition of Rotary: Making a Difference in 2017-18. He is challenging all 1.2
million Rotarians to simply plant a tree before Earth Day on 22 April 2018. This is something we can easily achieve in Rotary Park in combination with our
Community Service chairman Ian Wake’s 5 year vision for Rotary Park.
Well, that’s about it for now, until next week,
Best regards to all,
Greg Peck.
