September 21

Rotary World Peace Day

Rotary Club of Whyalla have organised a walk from the Ada Ryan Gardens to 

Rotary Park - meeting at the Peace Poles then going to the cafe for coffee and fellowship

 
 
 

September is Rotary Basic Education and Literacy Month

OUR VISION

Rotary envisions a more equitable and just world in which all children and adults have access to quality education and lifelong opportunities to learn numeracy and literacy skills.
 
About 272 million children are not in school (they did not enrol or have dropped out), and the UN estimates that without additional measures, 84 million more children and young people will be out of school by 2030. Approximately 300 million students will lack the basic numeracy and literacy skills necessary for success in life.  Rotary’s pathway to impact in basic education and literacy emphasizes the importance of getting children the numeracy and literacy skills they need while they’re still in school
 

 

 
 
 

Guest Speaker.

Kristy Clapp – Brain Hub coming to Whyalla in April.

 
Kristy has lived most of her life in Whyalla. She is a Clinical Nurse Consultant With Dementia Australia.  After 22 years of general nursing, she is now in the final year of her diploma for dementia care.
 
The Dementia Australia Brian Hub is coming to Whyalla between the 20th and 24th of April. There will be three presenters, Kristy (Clinical Nurse Consultant-Nightingale Program), Russell Venning and Jenny Adams -Dementia Support Specialists. At Dementia Australia, we are passionate about, building knowledge, understanding, and compassion. The Brain Hub is one of the ways they bring that to life. It’s not just a program, it’s a community focussed initiative designed to educate, empower, and connect people.
Through the Brain Hub, they offer a range of free, flexible sessions that can be tailored to suit any group’s needs. This might include dementia information workshops or even attending events or meetings as guest speakers.
Sessions can cover a variety of important and practical topics, such as:
  • Tips for keeping our brains healthy as we age

  • Understanding what dementia is, and what it isn’t

  • Key statistics and insights to help make sense of the impact

  • How to support family members, friends and colleagues living with dementia

  • The services and supports available through Dementia Australia

All sessions are completely free and can be adapted to suit different audiences, whether that’s community groups, workplaces or the general public.
