MUNA – WHAT IS IT?
• Set up in a United Nations format with
speaking protocols, Secretary General and
resolutions to debate.
• A 1 or 2 day debating style program.
• Teams of 3 representing the political,
religious and cultural beliefs of a country.
MUNA – WHY WE DO IT
• A popular youth program within Rotary – 3
MUNA programs in D9685, including the
introduction of Western Sydney MUNA in
2016.
• Provides students with a greater
understanding of UN.
• An opportunity for students to network and
learn about other Rotary programs.
MUNA – HOW IT WORKS
•Schools enter teams of 3 students
•Approximately 40 teams participate at the event.
•Teams are allocated a country 2 months prior to the
event – the need to learn as much as possible about the
context of the country they will be representing
(political status, religious, position within UN etc)
•Teams are provided with the resolutions 2 months in
advance. They prepare their responses based on
whether they are for the resolution, against the
resolution or wish to make an amendment.
D9685 MUNA – NATIONALLY RECOGNISED
• In 2015, SHORE School attended National
MUNA as the Runner Up of D9685 MUNA and
won.
• The team then took the opportunity to travel to
New York for the International Model UN.
• Our MUNA program receives enquiries from
clubs, schools and students around the country as
our website displays a professional view of the
program.
MUNA – 2016 DEVELOPMENTS
• New Website – Directs schools and clubs to the most
appropriate MUNA in the District.
• MUNA Operations Manual – Legacy for future clubs.
• Full review of program processes and operations to
bring the program into the 21st Century e.g. Online
voting.
• Western Sydney MUNA – to meet the long term
demand of the District.
MUNA – CHALLENGES AND OPPORTUNITES
• Western Sydney MUNA – spaces still
available for 2016!
• New host club 2018-2020 – interest from
Ryde and Beecroft.
• Developing a key contact list with the schools
– this is where local clubs can assist.

SCIENCE AND
ENGINEERING CHALLENGE
Gavin Ralston
A DAY THAT CAN CHANGE A LIFE
The Science &
Engineering Challenge
was developed
by The University of
Newcastle to encourage
students to include
science based subjects
in their final years of
high school.
Should we be here ?
Could we
do better?
The Challenge stimulates
and excites young
minds showing them
that you don’t have to
be a nerd to enjoy
science.
School teams
compete
against seven
other school
teams using
only the
materials and
equipment
provided
Students are allocated
to one of eight
Challenges available
on the day.
Challenges are as
diverse as
bridge building,
code breaking
&
creating electrical
circuits
8 schools
X
32 students
= 250 +.
IT WORKS!
Research findings
Participation in the Challenge:
• Increases student’s awareness of careers in
science & engineering.
• Increases interest in Science and Engineering
• Influences decisions to undertake science and
maths in high school
• Dramatically improves teamwork & self confidence
The Challenge is in its
17th year

Interact clubs helps to recognise and develop constructive leadership skills and personal integrity.
• Builds respect for the rights of others and emphasize acceptance of individual responsibility.
• To develop life skills, self development, time management, and to recognise the dignity and value of all useful occupations to serve society.
• To provide opportunities for gaining increased knowledge and understanding of community, national and world affairs.
DISTRICT 9685 INTERACT PRESENTATION 2016
A recent survey held in NSW schools, covered student connectedness, well being, schools and communities.
Survey results showed increased engagement at school, higher levels of school completion
and academic achievement.
DISTRICT 9685 INTERACT PRESENTATION 2016
Reduction in anti-social or disruptive behaviours.
Strategies for improving better connectedness to the school, families and community
Could be:-
Empowering students to have a voice.
Engaging community partners to provide a range of services that the school students need.
This to me is our Rotary entry point.
DISTRICT 9685 INTERACT PRESENTATION 2016
When you sponsor an Interact
Club it becomes a joint activity
Between the two clubs.
Students have the guidance of
Rotarians who help with
their chosen fundraising
Event.
