A Rotakids Club is a properly formulated school club that works in partnership with its host Rotary Club (Borderland Rotary) to undertake an annual programme of events, fundraisers and to have FUN!
The Rotakids pledge says it all:
“As a Rotakid, I endeavour to be fair to all, serve my community and to show respect to others”.
To make a difference to: Our School, Our Community, Our World.
Early in 2025 it was announced that a new "Kindness Award" will be introduced for all the eleven Rotakids Clubs to enter.
