Five students that attended the 2015 National Youth Science Forum (NYSF) programs held earlier this year have been selected to go on and attend International Science programs later this year. The students, their sponsoring Rotary Clubs and the International program they will be attending are as follows. In 2015 District 9810 was second only to District 9600 (Brisbane, 6 students) in terms of the number of students gong onto an International Science Program.  The students and their sponsoring Clubs are to be congratulated in achieving these further opportunities.

Only 1 Month to go for Students to register for NYSF
 

To date 45 students have registered their interest on the National Youth Science Forum (NYSF) website to attend the NYSF programs to be held in January 2016. The opportunity for students to register their interest closes on May 31. If your Club has not yet contacted schools in your area to see if they have students that may be suitable for the NYSF then please do so now. Students can only attend the NYSF if they have been nominated by a Rotary Club. A reminder around some Do's and Don't's sent out earlier this year is repeated below: 
  

Clubs PLEASE DO: 
 - respond to all student enquiries. 
 - wait until May 31 to make your selections for the District Interview. 
 - discuss funding with the students/parents/guardians 
 - encourage students/parents/guardians to contribute as much as they can towards the fee. 
 - interview the students that you are interested in endorsing. 
 - be discerning as to which students the Club nominates for a District interview. 
 - advise me me by June 30 as to whom the Club is endorsing and selecting for a District Interview 

 Clubs PLEASE DO NOT: 
 - ignore student approaches. 
 - leave discussing funding until after the District Interviews and selections. 

- nominate students for District Interview that do meet the NYSFselection criteria (see brochure).       
 

All Clubs should have received in the Post a letter from the NYSF Canberra along with copies of brochures for the Club and brochures that the students/schools have received. In case these have been misplaced the files below have copies of these documents. 

Before starting this process you need to be registered in www.rotary.org often referred to as "My Rotary". If you have not done so, please complete the registration process. A good tip here is that you have to use the same email address that your Club secretary would use to correspond with you on. Please use the same password that you use for that email address so you don't forget. 

Over the last two years Rotarians have been asking when we were we going to have another National Rotary Success Conference. It is going to happen this September! I would urge you to register now for what I am sure will be a great conference.

I would like to invite all Rotarians to the 2015 Rotary Success Conference and Youth Summit which will be held at the Hellenic Club, Canberra on 5- 6 September 2015. This conference is an affordable conference as the price of $120 per person covers, morning teas, lunch, afternoon tea and the Saturday night dinner. It will commence at 8.30am on the Saturday morning and conclude at 12.30pm on the Sunday.

The Rotary Club of Lilydale are now meeting at Chirnside Park Country Club. 

The Rotary Club of Clayton for at least the next six months will now be meeting at the Clayton RSL, 163 Carinish Road, Clayton.
