Rotary exchange student Beyond the Stage loving Young’s lifestyle Rotary Club exchange student Emily Berentin says she has loved her time on exchange in Young since she arrived in August last year. Ms Berentin, 18 and from Berlin, Germany, is in Young on an 11 month Rotary Club International exchange program to Australia, and has one month to go before jetting back home to Berlin. Each year the Rotary Club, which is based in more than 200 countries world wide, offers exchanges to students still studying in high school with connections to the club. Ms Berentin is still too young to be a Rotarian in Germany, but with her father being a member of the club, this made her eligible for the exchange program. While she said she had always wanted to do an exchange, she never really planned one until her father hosted two exchange students in their family home. “In Germany we learn English from year three, but I really wanted to improve my English, and I really love nature, so I chose to go to Australia,â€? she said. Of all the places in this great country of ours she could have gone, Rotary chose Young and Ms Berentin said she has loved the rural lifestyle. She has lived with three host families in Young.

The BX range is equipped with hydrostatic power steering to make steering effortless, even with a full loader bucket. A comfortable wellpadded seat with a swivel base to reverse the seat direction for backhoe operations is also standard. A large uncluttered metal operating platform and metal fenders ensures all pedals and operating levers are within easy reach of the operator, enhancing the comfort level of the BX25. The main frame of the BX range is reinforced to ensure its total ability to undertake front-end loader and backhoe operations.

The arched design of the boom allows the operator to dig deeper, keeping the boom out of the way of the edges of the excavation area. It also gives a better lifting height to clear obstacles. A 20 degree angle of departure of the backhoe allows for easy loading and unloading from trucks or trailers.

We live in a connected world. The internet and social media allow us to see and hear what is happening not only in our community but in the world around us. And for Young High School, ensuring their students become global citizens and develop the skills to engage in caring for and about their community, both locally and globally is a top priority. The journey to developing these empathy and engagement skills begins early with students in Year 7 English tackling a confronting picture book called Dust. The author created the book to highlight the devastating humaniWDULDQ GLVDVWHU WKDW RFFXUUHG LQ 1LJHU $IULFD LQ 2005. All proceeds from the sale of the book go to Save the Children to help fund programs WKDW WDFNOH NH\ FKLOGUHQ¡V ULJKWV LVVXHV Mrs Schiller, the Head Teacher of the English Faculty at the school, was cautiously optimistic about introducing the students to the book. “The story is very sad and covers in illustrations and limited words the death of a mother and child through starvation in Africa. In the end I was so impressed with how the students engaged in the story and were able to connect with a global issue.â€? “The students were so inspired that they asked the principal if they could do some fundraising to help those in need. They raised money and collected goods that were passed onto Save the Children.â€? Expanding on their work on humanitarian issues the Year 7 students also learn about the slums in India. They watch a documentary titled “Slumming Inâ€? which tells the story of people living in the slums and how despite the impoverished circumstances in which they live they are able to show gratitude. “We want our students to be global citizens and be aware of these issues and know that they can do something to help,â€? said Mrs Schiller.
