Senior Interactors Farewell

The Interact Club of Wesley Methodist School Kuala Lumpur (International) organized a farewell event on the 25^th of August 2017 (Friday). The theme for this event was Jamais Separe, which means never apart. This is because although we bid farewell to our seniors, we will still stay connected no matter what as we have built up a strong bond throughout our time in Interact Club with our seniors. This event was held at Timbre at The Row. A total of 84 Interactors and 4 teacher advisors attended this event.

This year, the farewell committee was made out of four junior Interactors. The committee consist of Interactor Goh Choi Yin as the organizing chairperson, Interactor Iman as the assistant, Interactor Anderson as the secretary and last but not least Interactor Chong Kai Zhen as the treasurer.

Before the event start, junior Interactors were divided into different group to do preparations for this event. For example, Decoration group, performance group, registration group and so on. Although the time given for preparation was very short, but junior Interactors manage to finish all preparations by the dateline given.

On that day itself, some of the junior Interactors left the school at 10.30 a.m. and take LRT to the venue to do preparations and also decorated the place. After that, at 11.30 a.m. rest of the junior Interactors left the school to help out with the preparation. Then, Senior Interactors left school at 12.30 p.m. After finishing all preparations, all junior Interactors lined up at the entrance to welcome the senior Interactors. After the senior members enter, they each receive a flower bracelet made by junior Interactors.

Next, we started the event with the video presentation prepared by the junior Interactors. The while waiting for the food to be served, we did a little “Talent Show”, where the emcee invited the Interactors to perform their hidden talent. Then, the Interactors started to enjoy the food. The food was so delicious that some Interactors went for second round. Then while everybody is still enjoying their food, the performance team preformed their song. The performance team consist of Kelly Anne Leong, Ashley Chew, Izzad, Mathias, Hannah Teoh and Kai Li.

After that amazing performance, Madam Grace was invited up on stage to present her speech. In her speech, she shared her love for this club and also hopes that we continue to do good things to contribute to this society. Next, Madam Norhayati was invited up on stage too to deliver her speech; it was an amazing and heart-warming speech. Then, Mr Kenneth, Madam Lavanya, Naomi Lim and Hannah delivered their speech respectively.

Last but not least, it is gift exchange time. The junior Interactors presented their gift to the seniors that they are assigned to. Every senior Interactors have a wide smile hung across their face when they received the gift from the juniors. It was a heat-warming scene. After that many interesting games were prepared by the juniors for the seniors to participate in. The games were interesting and fun. However some were terrifying. For example, the “What is in the box?” game. This is a game where the senior Interactors have to close their eyes and try to guess that object inside the box without looking at it.

We had a lot of fun as we get to bond with each other. We sincerely hope that senior Interactors truly enjoy their time in Interact Club.

ILTS 2017

On the 19th of August 2017, the Rotary Club of Kuala Lumpur DiRaja organized the annual Interact Leadership Training Seminar in Wesley Methodist School Kuala Lumpur (International). The purpose of this event was to build leadership in each and every Board of Directors of each interact club from District 3300 to grow up to be better individuals to serve the community and in their own respective schools. The seminar also provides the new Interact leaders with knowledge on how to manage the club and also how to perform well to serve the club with their own respective abilities.


As our school’s Interact Club was hosting the event, the board members of the club came early to school to prepare the Dutton Hall for the event to be carried out. After the preparations, we guided the Interactors to the hall. We also introduced ourselves and mixed around with the other Interactors. They arrived from 8.30 a.m. onwards and the registration began. The Rotarians arrived at 9.15 a.m. and although we started the event later than expected, everything still ran smoothly.

We kick started the day with an ice breaking session organised by the Rotaractors. We had to mingle with different people and find out interesting facts about them. It was a good session to get to know each other and make new acquaintances. After that, we sang the national anthem, 'Negaraku' and the Interact Song. Next, we had our roll call to acknowledge the presence of the Rotarians and Rotaractors as well as the different schools that had attended the event.

After that, Rtn. Sandeep Singh the organizing chairperson addressed the opening of the seminar and we were excited to receive whatever that was in store for us throughout this eveAfter Rtn. Sandeep Singh's address, the President of the Rotary Club, Rtn. Ajmal Khan gave a speech about what was Rotary and Interact all about. He explained further about the good work that we did recently and the positive impact it had to the unfortunate people. In relation to Rtn. Sandeep Singh's earlier address, he stressed that although Interact Club is important, but we always have to put our academic first. He also said that family is also equally important as our studies. Do not neglect our family because of Interact Club.

The first workshop session we had was based on the roles of the positions that we hold in the club. These workshops were coordinated by experienced and trained Rotarians who are currently holding a position in the board of directors of the Rotary Club. The teacher advisors also had a workshop session by the Rotarians on how to advise and control the club. The workshop session we had was really beneficial for us as we realized that each and every position in the club plays an important role and although everyone has their own roles to play, we still have to help each other out as we help complement each other well.

After the session, we then gathered in the canteen again to have our lunch. After that, all the Interactors returned back to Dutton Hall. The event was continued with the presentation of the different roles played in the club and their responsibilities. Each of them did a great job explaining their respective jobs. The Rotarians praised the Interactors again for really using this time to gain information of the roles we had to play for the club. They were very happy with the progress that we made and thanked us all for attending this event. It was a very beneficial event and we were glad that we could all make it. We hope that we will play our roles in the club well and be a role model for the rest of the Interactors in our respective schools.
