Report by the Teacher Advisor of The Interact
Club of Kuching High
A new Interact year has commenced, and this is
perhaps a good time to reflect on what our club has
achieved so far, and what we hope to achieve during
the 1994-95 Interact year.
As the teacher advisor of the Kuching High Interact
Club since its inception, I take a special pride in
the Interactors years after year. I have seen Interact
club officers enter the Interact programme shy and
diffident, and emerge strong and confident after their
year has ended. This can be attributed to the
leadership training they have undergone (under the
sponsorship of the Rotary Club of Kuching Central),
the guidance they have received, and the opportunity
they have been given to develop their potential
towards the ideal of "SERVICE BEFORE SELF".
Interactors may be young in years, but their energy
and enthusiasm can lead them to greater heights. In
our school, our Interact Club has organised fund
raising projects such as ice cream sales, car washes,
selling of flowers to students to be given to teachers
on 'Teachers' Day', and sales of biscuits and cakes in
school. Community projects have also been undertaken
with the same level of enthusiasm. Our Interactors
have participated in Open House sales at charitable
institutions by setting up food or games stall. They
have also collected and donated old clothes to the
poor and needy, visited the Home for the Aged and the
Mental Hospital, assisted in Christmas parties for the
Salvation Army, and at the school level, they have
repainted the teachers' toilets and the tennis court.
In addition to serving those in need, our Interactors
have also been provided with the opportunity for fun
and fellowship. They have held social gatherings with
other clubs, taken part in games, and learned to
interact with others. They have also published an
annual Interact bulletin which serves to remind
Interactors of the goals and objectives of the
Interact Club.
The 7th Installation of the Interact Club of our
school was held on 16th of July 1994. Already, its new
President, Jenny Yap, and her Board of Directors have
drawn up their programme for this Interact year. This
programme of activities is somewhat similar to those
outlined above, perhaps with a few variations. What is
important is that these projects and activities
reflect the diversity and spirit of our Interactors,
and help them take the first step towards a lifetime
of service.

Our
Interact club has enjoyed the sponsorship and
support of the Rotary Club of Kuching
Central all these years. We are indebted to a
number of Rotarians who have given us invaluable
help and advice. We look forward to your
continued support, and are most keen to work
closely with our club to achieve our ideals of
service.
And, in line with the Rotary International them
for 1994-1995, the Interact Club of Kuching High
will continue to "BE A FRIEND"
to everyone. |
