Club Meeting 25 February 2015
Ian Murphy Memorial Inter-Schools Debating between our sponsored team, St. Pauls College v Euroa Secondary College.
It was a win for St. Pauls College, and they will now go on to meet Wodonga Senior College on the Saturday afternoon of the District Conference. The debate subject of … “That Intelligence is more important than Social Skills” … was fiercely contested , and confirmed by the fact that the adjudicators took over twenty five minutes before they delivered their verdict in favour of St. Pauls College. Whilst it hasn’t yet been decided what team will debate ‘for’ and ‘against’, the Grand Final debate subject is “That Renewal energy is the way to go”. So hopefully plenty of scope there for youthful opinion. One of the adjudicators was also at the other semi – final between Wodonga Senior College and Scots School, and was telling the St. Pauls team that Wodonga are an exceptionally good debating team and not to give them anything on which they can counter attack, as that is really their forte
ROTARY YOUTH LEADERSHIP AWARDS (RYLA)
RYLA is Rotarians working with youth in leadership development. It is an interactive 7 day, 6 night leadership conference, organised and run by Rotarians to support 18-30 year olds in the workplace to lead in the community and in their professions.
The curriculum for every RYLA includes the following
- Fundamentals of leadership
- Importance of communication skills in effective leadership
- Ethics of positive leadership
- Problem solving and conflict-management
- What Rotary is and what it does for the local community
- Building self- confidence and self- esteem
The impact of the progam spreads further as the program awardees influence other young people
