Youth Programme

As Rotarians we believe that young people should have the platforms and opportunities for them to unlock their potential, develop their skills and broaden their horizons. Therefore, each year we run a wide range of Rotary Youth competitions for schools in the area. Great fun is had by all who are involved!

• In the Youth Technology competition teams of pupils solve an interactive technology-based task and design, develop and build a solution with the materials supplied.
• Budding chefs plan and cook a three course meal in the Young Chef competition judged by local chefs
• The Young Musician competition gives individual musicians the opportunity to compete and participate in a winners’ concert.
• Youth Speaks is a competition where young people use their public speaking skills to perform, persuade and entertain the audience
• The Interschools Quiz in the format of “University Challenge” gives teams of different ages from local schools the opportunity to test their general knowledge.

Because Rotary is a national organisation there are opportunities for the local winners to represent the Club at the District Finals and, if successful, to proceed to the Regional and National Finals.
