Form5/Year11 Community Service Project

On the 7th of January 2017, the Interact Club of Wesley Methodist School Kuala Lumpur International had its annual F5/Y11 community service project where the Interactors paid a visit to Rumah Titan Kasih in Titiwangsa. The project was organised by our Community Service Directors, Int. Kelly Goh and Int. Nigel Lee. The 45 senior Interactors gathered at school at 9am before departing to the orphanage. 

When we arrived, we were greeted warmly by the children and caretaker of the home. We then introduced ourselves to the kids before proceeding with our first activity of the day which was icebreakers. The main purpose of this activity is to foster greater bonding between Interactors and the orphans. We played games like 'tangled hands' and 'the eagle and the chicken' which allowed us to become good friends with the children and build team spirit amongst the Interactors.

After that, the Interactors were split into two groups in which one would be cleaning the orphanage while the other wrapped books for the children. The Interactors worked hard in scrubbing the premise and patiently taught the children to wrap their textbooks. It was an enjoyable experience both for the children and the Interactors.

After the cleanup, food was served to the children. We prepared fried rice with sausages and drinks such as soya bean and iced lemon tea for the children to satisfied their tummies. There was also a variety of other food such as chicken nuggets and egg sandwiches. Shortly after, a singing performance prepared by the Interactors was next on the agenda. Our talented performance team as well as our teacher advisor Ms Grace sang an English and Malay song which the children really enjoyed. 

At noon, we had our final cleanup before bidding farewell to the children. The Interactors left the home at around 12.15pm with special memories of the children held close to heart. Although we were sad to part ways with them, it was an enjoyable and memorable experience for all of us. We learnt that we have to be grateful for whatever we have and to always give back to society whenever we can. It was a valuable oppurtunity to help out the community and we look forward to organising more of these projects in the near future. Thank you for your time!!

Spectrum Carnival 2016

On the 11th November of 2016, the Interact Club of Wesley Methodist School Kuala Lumpur (International) held it's annual carnival themed Spectrum which allowed the students to enter a world filled with a kaleidoscope of colours. The carnival was officially started with Madam Chia officiating the event.

After the opening ceremony, many students eagerly lined up at the registration table in order to buy their coupons! The Interactors were waiting at their respective booths such as the T-shirt challenge, BubbleBall sport, Dunking Machine, the photobooth, Escape Room, facepainting and many more. We also had our annual dodgeball tournament which was a favorite amongst the Wesleyans!

There were many exciting prizes that could be won through the lucky draw system, winning the dodgeball tournament and also exchanging with the points collected from the station games.The prizes ranged from Pokemon soft toys, VR boxes, headphones, food hampers and many more!

As for the food, it received an overwhelming response from all the students as their tummies were grumbling after using all their energy on the games.The students really enjoyed the food while it lasted :)

Overall, the students and Interactors had a really great time during the carnival. The carnival ended at around 12.30 and the students were sent back to their respective classes while the Interactors were asked to stay back to clean up the school compound. The f3 Interactors played an important role during the clean up session and the school compound was as clean as new after the Interactors finished cleaning. This event would not have been a success without the help from our amazing teacher advisors who guided us throughout the preparations for carnival and also a HUGE shoutout to our two amazing funding directors, Int. Jonathan Chan and Int. Zoey Chan for planning this event. We would like to thank them all of the amazing support for this event and we hope to continue to receive your support for our future upcoming events!!

Chassant Rêves - Interact Club of Wesley Methodist School Kuala Lumpur 15/16

The time has come for the members of the Interact Club of Wesley Methodist School Kuala Lumpr 15/16 to hand over the club to our newly installed Interactors. It feels like just yesterday when the responsibility of maintaining and running the club was given to us, we can't believe one year has passed. Even so, we are very proud to "retire" and end our journey of being an Interactor. It has been a fruitful and meaningful year and we sincerely hope our new BOD and members will enjoy their time in this club too. Thank you to everyone we've served and helped because without you, we wouldn't be where we are today! We hope this isn't the end but a start of something even bigger and even better. Never stop serving and contributing to society and always uphold the principle of "Service Above Self" because that's what being an Interactor was and is about. Once an Interactor, always an Interactor. Viva La Interact~

Signing off,
Chassant Rêves (Chasing Dreams since 1999)

Thank you for your service, Interactors 15/16. None of our events would have been successful without your hard work and dedication. ♥  All the best in your future endeavours, fam. 

Senior Interactors Farewell

The Interact Club of Wesley Methodist School Kuala Lumpur (International) organized a farewell event on the 9^th of September 2015 (Friday). The theme for this event was Dreamworks as it followed up the interact theme for our last physical year which was Chasing Dreams. This theme shows that the senior Interactors achieved what they work hard for and symbolises the realisation of their dreams. The event was held at Concorde Hotel Kuala Lumpur. A total of 85 students and 2 teacher advisors participated in this event.

This year, the organising committee was made up of five junior Interactors, led by the organizing chairperson, Int. Goh May Zhi, assisted by the assistant organizing chairperson, Int. Lauren Lim, as well as the secretary and treasurer, Int. Yip Shin Wen and Int. Yuvan Ravindran respectively.

The preparation for this event started on 10^th of August. Despite the lack of time for preparation of this event, the junior Interactors still managed to finish their preparations for the event to run smoothly. The junior Interactors were separated into groups with different tasks and they all did their best to prepare for this event.

On the 9^th of September, 15 juniors left for Concorde Hotel at 10.30 a.m. to set up the decorations. The other junior members left the school at 1.15 p.m. followed by the seniors that left 10 minutes later. The junior members that arrived at the venue arranged themselves at the entrance to welcome the senior members. At about 2.15 p.m., the Interactors started to enjoy the delicious buffet lunch catered by the hotel. While enjoying their meal, the Interactors watched a video presentation prepared by Joshua and his team for the seniors. It contained humour and was very meaningful. After the video presentation, the junior Interactors performed a skit prepared for the seniors. A while later, one of our teacher advisors, Mdm Lavanya gave a speech on behalf of Mr. Kenneth who could not attend the event due to his injury. Mdm Lavanya also shared about her thoughts and love for the club. It was a wonderful and heartwarming speech that touched the heart of all Interactors.

After the speeches ended, we headed out of the hall to take a group picture before heading back to the hall again to enjoy a singing performance. The singing performance was performed by a group of talented junior Interactors. Some of the senior Interactors were given a chance to share their thoughts and experiences of their time in the club. Before the event came to an end, there was a session for the junior Interactors to present gifts specially prepared for the seniors. We had a great bonding time too. At around 4.00 p.m., the event ended and juniors stayed back to clean up the venue.

Through this meaningful event, the juniors were given great opportunity to thank the seniors for their contributions and commitment towards the club and to appreciate their effort of putting in their all to make events successful. We are glad the seniors enjoyed their last interact event in their secondary school life. Overall the event was a successful one and everyone had a great time.

Interact Club 42nd Installation: Sta Astéria

 On the 26th of August 2016, the Interact Club of Wesley Methodist School Kuala Lumpur (International) held its 42nd Annual Installation, themed 'Sta Astéria'. The event was held from 3.30 p.m. to 5.30 p.m. in the Dutton Hall at school. The theme 'Sta Astéria' was chosen as this fiscal year's theme as it symbolizes our dreams, aspirations and our goals. We should take a step further and aim higher because the sky is not the limit. We have to reach to the stars. The theme was voted by the members of the club as it truly reflects our purpose as Interactors.

Our installation was very blessed with the presence of Past President Rotarian Rainer Jaensch, and Rotarian Advisor for the Interact Club of WMSKL(I), the Vocational Service Director of the Rotary Club of KL diRaja, Rotarian Rajendra. We were also glad to have our Admission and Operations Manager, Madam Evelyn Sim, as well as one of our Vice Principals, Mr Amaranathan with us on this auspicious event. Interactors from other district schools as well as a number of students from Wesley also attended the event.

The event was kicked off with the singing of the national anthem, ‘Negaraku’, which was then followed by the Interact Song. Then, we commenced with roll-call for the various guests. After that, Past President, Rotarian Rainer Jaensch gave his inspiring speech before the installation of the incoming Interactors. After the Form 4/Year 10 installation, a group of talented Interactors from the Performance team presented a song medley which consisted of 'YOUTH' by Troye Sivan and 'Cold Water' by Justin Bieber. Everyone enjoyed the performance and even joined in by clapping and singing along with the performers.

Next up was the presentation of certificates for the outgoing Form 5/Year 11 Interactors, to recognize each and every one of them for all their effort, hard work, and time in the club. There were also a few special awards for outstanding Interactors. This year's 'Most Caring Interactor' award went to Ng Hui Ying. The 'Most Diligent Interactor' award was awarded to Wong Mae Eynn, while the 'Most Dedicated Interactor' award went to Michelle Chang Kar Ye. Last but not least, the award for 'Most Passionate Interactor' was awarded to Wong Chung Han. The incoming and outgoing Board of Directors then had their presentation of medals. The outgoing Board of Directors handed down their medals to their successors to represent the passing down of their posts alongside the responsibilities that follow.

The outgoing President, Int. Kok Hanz then gave his speech. He talked about all the memories of being part of the club and also thanked everyone for their never ending support and dedication to the club. After that, a video presentation prepared by the outgoing Board was shown. The video was a trip down memory lane as it included many photos from previous events that the Interactors of 2015/2016 and 2016/2017 were involved in.

After the video presentation, the incoming President, Int. Naomi Lim, gave her speech. In her speech, she hoped that we would achieve greater heights with teamwork as our combined efforts have no limits. The event ended with the presentation of souvenirs to the respected guests. After the event was concluded, all guests were invited to the canteen to enjoy some light refreshments prepared by the refreshments team.

Everyone had a good time during Installation. We were very tired but we still enjoyed ourselves very much. Viva la Interact!
