Rotary camp opens up opportunities for Jodie

Details

鈥楾aking an opportunity and seeing what comes of it鈥 was the thinking behind Jodie Handley鈥檚 decision to take part in the Rotary Youth Program of Enrichment recently.

Also known as RYPEN, the camp was held last weekend in Kinglake. It saw Years 9 and 10 students from right across the Rotary 9790 District spend three days in an intense learning and social experience. The program is set up to challenge young people through activities that will increase their self-esteem and leadership skills, as well as allowing opportunities for them to think about understanding themselves and how they relate to others.

Jodie, who is in Year 10 at 蜜桃女孩 said she was surprised at how much she enjoyed the experience and being pushed outside of her comfort zone.

鈥淚t was really fun 鈥 all of the activities were around building your leadership skills and working together,鈥 she said.

鈥淚t challenged us to think outside the box and think differently about things, not just at what seems obvious or that is right in front of us.鈥

Jodie said a highlight was also meeting new people, including a number of students from nearby schools such as Notre Dame College, Shepparton ACE Secondary College and Numurkah Secondary College.

鈥淚 made some really good friends there,鈥 she said.

鈥淚鈥檓 not too sure whether I want to take on any leadership roles at school, but I think it was a good opportunity to just see where it can take me.

鈥淲e had to get up in front of everyone and give a speech about something we鈥檙e passionate about. I spoke about my cow, Maggie, which got a lot of questions from the group.

鈥淚t was scary, but I did it. I think we all surprised ourselves with what we could actually do if we pushed ourselves.鈥

Jodie was nominated as the 蜜桃女孩 representative to attend the RYPEN Camp by her Neighbourhood Sub-school leader due to her positive behaviour and efforts in and outside of the classroom.
