Students demonstrate ‘service above self’
Our Young Citizen Awards honour teenagers from Harpenden’s secondary schools and organisations like scouting and guiding, who have been outstanding in reflecting the Rotary motto, Service above Self.
The award winners, chosen by the school or organisation, gather with their parents at a dinner we host each May, to be introduced by a senior member of the school or organisation.
‘Something the school cannot teach them’
Finding a business idea and pitching it to three successful business people was the challenge set to Year 6 at High Beeches Junior School. Rotary in Harpenden provided the initial funding to teams, all of which are invited to run their businesses at this year’s school summer ‘Feastival’.
Young photographers score with their ‘rebuilding’ shots
Our young photographers fared well in both the Harpenden heat of the Rotary Young Photographers Competition, and in the ensuing district level competition for Bedfordshire, Buckinghamshire and Hertfordshire. They were asked to produce an image on the theme of ‘rebuilding’, which called for a stretch of imaginations. Our entrants did not disappoint!
