Krugersdorp High School’s Rotary Interact Club of 2024/ 25 signed off their year of service by welcoming new members of the Interact Club who will be playing their part in empowering and uplifting the community through various charity-driven activities.

According to Monument Rotary Club president Nicolene Botha, the Interact Club allows young people from various schools to organise several community projects every year, which help their school or community and promote community wellbeing. The Rotary Club, along with sponsors, mentors and guides, interacts as they carry out projects and develop leadership skills.

”The benefits of being a member improve social awareness, take action to make a difference in your school and community, discover new cultures and promote international understanding, become a leader in your school and community and have fun and make new friends from around the world,” Nicolene said.

Their community projects include an annual sanitary pad drive, an Easter egg drive to collect Easter eggs and donate them to various children’s homes and nursery schools in low socioeconomic environments and assisting KHS with their Santa Shoebox drive and many more.

The club currently has seven executive officers and another 15 to 18 committee members, all comprising Grade 11 learners at KHS. In total, the Interact Club has about 100 members across the West Rand.
