YOUTH and EDUCATION PROJECTS
Teen Mental Health First Aid Training coming up at Beaumaris Secondary College
As part of the Club’s Youth Mental Health project, a course designed for teenagers will be delivered in late October to the entire year 9 student cohort at Beaumaris Secondary College. 180 students will receive training on Teen Mental Health First Aid and learn about the signs and symptoms of mental health problems that may be experienced by young people, and how they can support a friend who may be experiencing a mental health problem. We want to thank the College for their collaboration on this initiative to deliver the training to all the Year 9 students.
The Teen Mental Health First Aid training course is developed and accredited by Mental Health First Aid Australia, and designed especially for teenagers, and delivered in the school setting. The delivery of this training forms part of our youth project to help improve the mental health of high school students in our local area. To date, more than 500 students have received training over the past 12 months, and with this latest course, more than 700 students will have received training.

Support for Katandra Berendale School
For some years our Club has supported Berendale School students with an annual Resilience Award presented to a year 11 student prior to them commencing their year 12 studies. Berendale has now merged with Katandra P-6 School.
Recently, Berendale has built and equipped a new gym training room. Equipment consists of multiple exercise bikes, a treadmill, a rowing machine, floor mats and a shoulder weight strengthening machine. The Club contributed $1500 towards purchasing this equipment.
Club members will attend a demonstration of the new equipment at the school on on Wednesday 25 October. They can also partake of coffee produced by students as part of their hospitality training.
COMMUNITY PROJECTS
September Bayside Farmers’ Market Raises Funds for Polio Eradication
We want to thank all market patrons who donated so generously at our September Bayside Farmers’ Market. With the donations from this market, our Club has been able to donate to the Rotary International End Polio campaign. This initiative was formed in 1985 to eradicate polio which had paralysed 1,000+ children every single day in 125 polio-endemic countries. By providing an effective vaccine, Rotary and it’s partners have to date immunized over 2.5 billion children worldwide. Because of the amazing work being done across the globe, now just 2 countries remain wild polio-endemic. Our latest donation will now contribute towards helping to eradicate polio in these last two countries.
Next Bayside Farmers’ Market – Saturday 28 October
The next Bayside Farmers Market is coming up on Saturday 23 September - 8am-1pm, at Trey Bit Reserve (Jetty Road), Sandringham. You’ll be able to shop for locally sourced fresh produce direct from the farm, gourmet foods and beverages, artisan products from local makers, take-away food & coffee, and enjoy live music …all at a fabulous beachside location!
