Year 11 Ryda Program - Term 2
As
you are well aware many Year 11 students will be working towards attaining
their Driver’s Licence in the very near future. This can be a worrying time for
parents and teachers, as students are often unaware of the dangers they face
every day on the road.
As
part of our Student Development Programme (SDP), we are pleased to
offer all Year 11 students a Rotary Youth Driver Awareness (RYDA) program. A fact sheet is available about this course on the RYDA website.
RYDA
is a community-based initiative of Rotary Clubs and as a result, we are able to
offer this program to our students at a greatly subsidised price.
Senior Biology Excursion - Term 3
