Abby O'Brien has been proposed by our Club and accepted!
She will be going to Italy in January 2024 for 12 months.
A briefing, the first of two, was held on Sunday 24 September at Charles Campbell College. This was for Outbound students, their parents, and for sponsoring Clubs.
Ros attended as Abby's Counsellor, and met up with her parents.
A number of presentations were given, which included:
- Child protection requirements and standards of Rotary International
- travel arrangements
- advice on emotional wellbeing, home sickness etc
- the structure of the international exchange program
Both students and parents alike are very excited at the exchange opportunity.
Parents were encouraged to liaise with their sponsoring Rotary Club.
As a consequence, we now have Abby's parents contact details. We will include Shaun and Karren in the distribution of our Club Newsletter.
