Breakfast at One Tree Hill College 15 October 2024
Penrose President Bruce Watson welcomed 25 Penrose & Newmarket members and visitors to Tuesday morning’s breakfast meeting at One Tree Hill College.
RYPEN
Three of the four Penrose Interact Club members who had attended the August Winter RYPEN weekend spoke of their experience, and the activities they had enjoyed. Working in teams, they all felt the benefit of being asked to take on leadership roles in the various tasks. They had appreciated in particular the RYLA Alumni leaders present, and their support for the weekend.
RYPEN and Interact – two great Rotary projects.
Outward Bound
The two Head Students of One Tree Hill College, Fatemeh and Levi, reported back on their attendance at their Outward Bound course in July. They spoke of their tramping, sailing and solo activities – continually being faced with out of comfort zone and unexpected challenges.
They both expressed gratitude to the Penrose Club and the generous past benefactor for covering their costs, noting others on the course had had to pay their own way [@ $6k per participant].
