Warwick Bridge Primary School RotaKids

What is RotaKids?

RotaKids is an exciting way for 7-12 year olds to enjoy working on important fun activities that will make a positive difference in school, in the local community and globally.
RotaKids will come up with ideas such as raising money for charity, improving the environment, helping the elderly or children in another country!

RotaKids will make good friends, grow their confidence and self-esteem. This boost to self-esteem is at a key stage. It means RotaKids develop the strength, knowledge, skills, enthusiasm and determination to make their world a more peaceful place where people can enjoy their lives.

Background
RotaKids are the youngest members of the Rotary family and usually based in schools where they are supported by a local Rotary club. RotaKids itself supports Primary School Citizenship programmes in a very meaningful way. Although each school's RotaKids are sponsored by a Rotary Club, the day to day running is undertaken by the school teachers.
A Rotary District Charter certificate is presented when RotaKids are formed. As RotaKids develop, members will elect officers and some control will be passed on to these officers.

How it works
During the initial visits by Rotarians to the school and potential RotaKids, the Rotarians should tell the young people and teachers about Rotary International. The school will benefit from the young people learning about citizenship in a practical manner.
Participation by Rotarians in events and RotaKids meetings will be at the invitation and discretion of the teacher. Financial support will be at the discretion of the Rotary Club, but they will often supply pin badges, tabards, T-shirts, hats, wrist bands.
RotaKids undertake projects of their choice and they decide how they will achieve them, with guidance from their teachers. There is no minimum number of projects clubs need to undertake in a year. Rotarians meet with RotaKids monthly or more frequently if required.
Whilst undertaking their projects, RotaKids will also use and develop many skills:

• Maths, for counting money.
• First language, when writing event programmes leaflets and news articles, and giving presentations.
• Art and IT for creating posters.
• Music for entertaining senior citizens.
• Enterprise, leadership and thinking for running projects.
• Understanding of people across the planet.
