SCHOOLIES WEEK ALTERNATIVE
|
A World Community Service Initiative For Year 12 Students
An Oppurtunity to give, not to take!
|
This project offers year 12 students an alternative to the now well publicised "Schoolies Week". Offering the students a Life Changing experience to remember.
November 2007 saw 10 Kerang Technical School Students and 9 support adults take part in this unique experience as an alternative to the usual year 12 "Schoolies Week".
The group were involved in community projects such as helping to build 8 homes in a remote village, assisting in English classes at the Phnom Phen University, supplying care packages for youth aged between 5 and 19, mostly orphans, living in a Rehabilitation Centre. Members of the group also repaired a number of beds at the Centre and managed to get water running to the bathroom for the first time in 16 months.
The Youth Community Connect Project is a two week trip organised in association with the Rotary Club of Kerang. Organisers are seeking the support of businesses in the district through financial donations to help offset the travel costs, allowing all year 12's the same oppurtunity.
The 2008 group also includes students from Cohuna Secondary College.
If you are interested in joining the 2009 group or sponsoring please contact Us
