RYTS is coming to D9630!
Nov. 27th thru Dec. 3rd 2011
Do you know any Year 11 or Year 12 School leavers?
RYTS is a 7 day residential camp aimed at high school leavers.
It has been successfully running in District 9640 for over 26 years. This will be the first time that RYTS will be run in D9630.
High school only prepares students for so much. This program will shift thinking and change lives.
The phrase 'I can't' will no longer be heard. 'We can', 'We will' and 'We have' will become the norm.
RYTS will:
• Create a shift of thinking.
• Equip participants with important life skills.
• Transform goals into reality.
• Ensure that the best self shines through.
• Allow laughter, tears and everything in between.
RYTS is run by a group of passionate volunteer leaders and a line up of awesome speakers ready to create an incredible week of memories.
For too long young people have been under equipped to deal with the transition out of high school to real life.
Come join the movement of change!
