Great opportunity for anyone aged 18-25
If you are, or have been, a leader at school, work or in your community, then you must apply for a 2020 Rotary Youth Leadership Award (RYLA) today! RYLA is a residential, high-energy programme to develop young leaders to be held at the Silverstream Retreat, Hutt Valley, 22 January to Sunday 26 January 2020.
Preston Lyons (pictured left) was the 2019 Tawa RYLA representative and had this to say: “The theme of RYLA 2019 was to ‘unleash your leadership potential’. RYLA certainly achieved that, and so much more. It was an intense, challenging, and incredibly rewarding journey of growth, teamwork, and leadership. I have innumerable highlights and memories, each of which empowered me to become a better version of myself.”
Application forms are available on the RYLA website – www.ryla9940.co.nz...

Poll: Do you think NZ should ban social media for youth?
The Australian Prime Minister has expressed plans to ban social media use for children.
This would make it illegal for under 16-year-olds to have accounts on platforms including TikTok, Instagram, Facebook and X.
Social media platforms would be tasked with ensuring children have no access (under-age children and their parents wouldn’t be penalised for breaching the age limit)
