MEMBERS The membership of the St. Columban’s College Interact Club in 2001 is over 50 members. Students are able to use their membership as one avenue of school service. Students have to commit themselves to 2 areas such as debating, interschool sport, choir, school bands, gym club, Tournament of the Minds etc. each year. Most members are in years 8 to 10. All board members have to be in years 10 to 12. Parental permission is required to join and a joining fee of $4 covers the Interact badge. Students must attend 60% of meetings to claim Interact as one of their commitments. Would you like to join Interact? If you like to help other people, and want to have something to do each Friday lunch time, come to L1.1 at the meeting bell on Fridays or get a joining form from Mrs Gregory after morning PC in L1.3. What happens at Interact meetings? The meetings are usually chaired by the Interact President. A roll is taken each meeting. Reports from current projects are read, Projects are planned and volunteers are called for workshops after school on Tuesdays (eg for painting blackboards to send to PNG, cooking for the Mother’s or Father’s Day stall, making teddy bears to send to the Philippines). A Rotarian from the Caboolture Rotary Club usually attends and reports activities of our sponsor club. The club has dinner meetings approximately twice a year where the Rotary Club of Caboolture is invited. These are held in L1.2 on a Monday night when the Rotary Club usually meets. Other meeting activities: Ø Guest speakers on Youth Exchange Ø Sid gave us a magic show and talked about Camp Quality Ø Hot Dog days Ø
