22.01.2022 People who are new to Australia are always very welcome to get involved in Rotary or Rotaract. It’s a great way to build a network, improve English and/or understanding of Australian culture, feel connected and even find a sense of family.

21.01.2022 Earlier this month, we invited State Governors around Australia to share a congratulatory message with students accepted into the NYSF Year 12 Program from thei...r state. Normally each of the state Governors and Administrators hosts an event to congratulate participants selected into the NYSF Year 12 Program in their state. This was not possible this year due to COVID restrictions. The first message is from Victorian Governor, The Honourable Linda Dessau AC. The Hon Linda Dessau AC shared this inspiring message with Victorian students attending the 2021 NYSF Year 12 Program and emphasised the crucial role STEM plays in our lives. "You students should feel particularly proud. You have managed to rise above all the hardships and unknowns of the year and you've proven yourself to be a particularly resilient group of achievers. It is without question that your enthusiasm and talent for science has never been more important." If you know a Victorian attending the 2021 NYSF Year 12 Program, tag them in the comments to share these encouraging words from Victorian Governor, The Honourable Linda Dessau AC.

15.01.2022 The last major epidemic in living memory in Australia was polio. Many of us might remember friends from school or the neighbourhood who fell victim to this crue...l and sometimes fatal virus. Interestingly it bears some similar characteristics to the present pandemic; Poliomyelitis is a sometimes fatal disease caused by a virus that is spread through faeces and mucous, and ingested orally. It is highly contagious, but in the majority of cases polio has either no effect at all or, at worst, no more than flu-like symptoms. However, in about one per cent of those infected the virus spreads to the nervous system, causing paralysis, usually of the legs. Of those affected in this way, five to 10 per cent die. As most people infected with polio have no signs of illness, they remain unaware they have been infected. For several weeks they can be spreading the virus. During that time, polio can spread rapidly through a community. The disease may infect thousands of people, depending on the level of sanitation, before the first case of polio paralysis emerges.
