30-hour Famine

The 30 hour famine was held on the 11th and 12th of July. All Interactors took part in this meaningful event. Other participants included students from all Forms. Before the famine, students who were taking part were to collect donations with a minimum of RM50 from their friends and families.

During the famine for 30 hours, students were not allowed to eat but drinks were given at certain time intervals. It means that we had to starve ourselves for 30 hours! Many activities were carried out throughout the famine. These activities were aimed to take hunger off the minds of participants and also to allow them to have a fun time.

After 30 hours of starvation, we were looking forward to the lunch in the afternoon the next day! We counted down together for the last 10 seconds...10..9..8..7..6..5..4..3..2..1.. Yay ! We had nuggets, mushroom soup and many other delicious food for lunch.

The end.

35th Annual Interact Club Installation

The annual installation was held on the 21st of August. The theme for this year's installation was 'Dare To Care'. We invited the Leo club of our school as well as Interactors from the other schools to witness this auspicious moment. Pictures of the Form 4s and form 5s interactors were put up for others to look at. Those were the pictures taken during the activities throughout the year. All who attended this installation were all given a door gift as remembrance.

The installation started off with speeches given by the guest of honour, Mr Francis Chan, the Immediate Past President of the Rotary Club KL Diraja. Then, our outgoing president, Catherine and incoming president, Zhi-Yang were also invited on stage to give us a few words. Catherine showed us some photos of the Form 5 Interactors during her speech. The outgoing members were all given a certificate for their service and contributions to the club . The Form 4 Interactors were then installed. The Form 4s had been looking forward to this day and were very excited about it.

Last but not least, there were performances by the fFrm 4s to entertain the guests and students there. A short, funny but meaningful sketch was carried out. The band performance by Jen Xian, Zhi-Yang, Ivan, Shi Kai was truly electrifying. The students even shouted for an encore!

Everyone enjoyed themselves during the installation. Farewell to the Form 5s interators and all the best in your upcoming SPM examinations ! We, the Form 4s will always work hard to prove that we are all capable leaders, just like them.

Farewell

On the 12th of August, a farewell party was held in KLCC for the Form 5 Interactors. We made a lot of different plans for this farewell and finally we settled on KLCC as the venue. We met some obstacles along the planning of this farewell but managed to tackle them. The following pictures will tell you the story. =)

Everyone gathered in the canteen and we left immediately after everyone was present. We went to KLCC by LRT. Everyone was buzzing as we were waiting for the train to come.

We started off with a game in which all the Form 5s were given some clues to find places and landmarks.

Our teacher advisors, Ms Teng and Mdm Norhayati. =)

After we gave the Form 5s the last clue, they managed to find the last station. California Pizza Kitchen!! This was where we had our farewell party.

On the table, there were pizzas and photo frames with our Form 4 Interactors' photo. Everyone was busy finding their own seat as all the seats were arranged with names.

Gifts from the Form 4s to Form 5s. We also gave a message box to our President, Catherine Kok and Vice President, Jonathan Yeoh.

Everyone enjoying their meal.
After the meal, we went to prepare the two cakes for the President and Vice President. Among the candles, some were magic relighting candles.

Cheese cake.

Chocolate cake.

Everyone sang the Interact song before they blew out the candles.
Jonathan Yeoh (Vice President) trying very hard to blow the candles out. Every Form 5 helped too as some of the candles relit. =)




Cutting the cake.
Nearing the end of the farewell, everyone raised their glasses for a toast to the President, Catherine, Vice-President, Jonathan, and all the Form 5 Interactors.
Everyone enjoyed the farewell party and it will always be a part of our memories. We had been working together through thick and thin for almost a year and we had learned many important values, given rise to friendships and working together. We promise the Form 5s that we will work hard next year to prove that we all are capable leaders, just like them. =)

Coco Fusion 2009

On the 19th of June, the Interact Club had its first ever Coco Fusion! The event was held to give students a better understanding of what every club and society in Wesley Methodist School does, and thus give them the opportunity to learn new things and find new interests. (:





Each club and society put on interesting displays, such as..

LEO's 'Are You Smarter than a Kindergartener?'

Computer Club's Wii games, which were a hit.

And the Choir and Ensemble, a real crowd-pleaser with several well-known songs that night, such as Mamma Mia and Viva la Vida.

It was evident during the event that everyone seemed to be enjoying themselves, whether they were manning their own booths, walking around looking at the various displays, or even just sitting idly with friends and enjoying the evening.

We are proud of the event's success and thank everyone for putting effort into making this event possible. :)

AWESOME. :D

Kids' Carnival 2009

On the 20th of June, the Interact Club had our annual Kids' Carnival. Children from several organisations came for the event and we are happy to report that everyone enjoyed themselves, Interactors included. :)


When the kids arrived, they were brought into the school, where we tried to make them feel as welcome as possible.





For icebreakers we danced the macarena and had several games. Then, the station games began!



The children were divided at random into several animal-themed groups, such as Dog, Snake, Cat, Wolf et cetera. They found each other by making their group animal's sound, such as a bark for Dog, and took part in the station games as their groups.



We went by the point system, and the group with the highest amount of points would be declared the winner at the end of the event.



There was a petting zoo too. :D



After about an hour of running around and having fun, we merged in the canteen for refreshments.

We also had a creative session, during which the children enjoyed doodling and drawing on white caps, which they got to take home. How often are you allowed to graffiti your clothes, right? :)

Sadly, the fun had to end eventually. Prizes were given for Most Creative Child, Best Group and All-round Best Child.

The children were clearly sad to leave as they seemed to have had a great day. Several cried upon departure, and we were sad to say goodbye too. :(

However, we saw the event as a great success and, although things could have been done to improve it, we learned lessons in organising it and had a wonderful experience.
