Interact News

Interact was off to a great start this term, with 15 students volunteering at a fundraiser with local Rotary groups for the Anzac Dawn Service at Beauty Park. It was wonderful for the students to meet Peta Murphy MP and connect with their local community on this important day. Interact raised more than $1,000 for RSL veterans. Furthermore, students launched their Kindness Card Project late last week. 

Kindness Card Project - Interact is proud to introduce Kindness Cards! Kindness Cards are special cards with cute messages for you to give to your loved ones and friends, to spread good will and uplift community wellbeing. All money raised selling these cards will go to Hold My Hand Australia.

Hold My Hand Australia - Hold My Hand is an Australian charity which seeks to provide tools to young people to help them assist each other in finding and sharing mental wellness. The charity raises awareness about mental health issues while also teaching kids how they can best help their friends who are struggling. Find out more at: https://www.holdmyhand.org.au/

Students aimed to raise $100 last week, but have already outstripped that figure by more than twofold, having raised $268.50 in just two lunchtimes! Keep an eye out for the stall in the Senior School staffroom if you would like to contribute to the cause.  Watch out for Interact students selling these at school events in the future!
