Interact

interact is a school service club which encourages students to raise awareness and funds for those in need. Interact 15 linked to Rotary and Girls Grammar interact is supported by the Rotary Club of Windsor. interact was a huge success this Year with over 150 students showing support for the club at the annual sign-on meeting. Interact have run many fundraisers, beginning with an ice-cream stall that was organised at the first meeting. We have raised funds for Bow Tie Day in March to support people with muscular dystrophy. Other fundraisers have included a sausage sizzle. hot chocolate stall, pancake stall and a talent quest. Overall, Girls Grammar Interact has raised over $1000 All money raised 15 donated towards Inter PIast, an altruistic organisation that provides reconstructive surgery for children with significant disfigurement in developing countries so that they may be able to have a more promising future Interact would not have been so successful without the support of many people MY sincere thanks must go to Mr Brier Thomas from Windsor Rotary Club for his endless encouragement and involvement in the club throughout the Year. Thanks must also go to Mr Bromiley and Miss Nardi for their enthusiasm, dedication and helpful advice. Finally, I would like to thank the Interact Board members and all the student members. who so willingly helped throughout the Year I encourage all members of Interact to continue on with their great support, and I wish the Board members the best of luck for next Year

Faith in Action

This Year's programme has included both fun activities such as making pancakes on Shrove Tuesday to raise awareness of the significance of Christian traditions, as we as serious group discussions on the differences between the major world religions It has been interesting to learn of other cultural traditions from visitors from Russi and Pakistan where life is a constant struggle for the average person in both countries. it will be a great loss to farewell Katharine Milne and Morgan Sectney who have been part of the group since their first Year at the school. We wish You both all the best for the future
