Another New Club

As for Stock Primary School, our other new RotaKids club, Peter and Stephen explained to Lead Teacher Gemma LeMarche what a RotaKIds club was, and how it could integrate into the operation of the school. They passed to her examples of activities performed by the RotaKids clubs in Quilters and Buttsbury schools, and reports of these clubs’ activities as published in the Rotary Club of Billericay monthly Newsletter.

Various documentation such as the RotaKids Handbook, explanation of the Excellence Award and samples of the badges and RotaKids oath were also discussed.  Finally, the yearly schedule was discussed - election of members in September, projects during the year, taking part in the RotaKids Excellence Award process and finally, annual report to the Rotary Club of Billericay.

A Quick Start 

Gemma wanted to go ahead with setting up a RotaKids club at the school, integrated with the school council as in Quilters and Buttsbury.  Just like at Stock, in a desire get matters moving as early as possible, she wanted to elect the members of next year’s RotaKids in June/July this year from those pupils who will still be in school next school year so that they will have a very quick start next school year in September.

A date in July was set for the investiture of the new RotaKids and Chartering of the new club.
