The young helpers from Toormina High School included Skye who is going on a three-month short-term exchange to Germany in November; Indy, who is going on a year’s exchange to Belgium in January; Jacinta, who is going to a Rymarine program on Marine Biology next month; and Whitby who has just completed a weekend camp at Rotary’s Youth Program of Enrichment. Coffs Harbour Senior College student Mia was also helping. She is going to the National Youth Science Forum in Brisbane in January. Meantime, the club has just donated $500 to Boambee Public School to assist with the Year 6 trip to Canberra. “[Next up], we are about to deliver over $500 worth of books to the five public schools in our area”, Mr Freedman said. “We are most thankful to the parents of these students who also attended the trivia night along with everyone else who supported us, once again making the youth programs possible.” By Andrea FERRARI Rotary Club of Sawtell’s trivia night attracts a record breaking attendance to Sawytell RSL.
