Interact at Clairvaux MacKillop College is a highly attended youth social justice group and acts as the student branch of Rotary Mount Gravatt.
The group meets once a fortnight which allows for the flexibility to respond to current global or local disasters.
A representative from the Rotary group attends the student meetings and keeps the group informed of local news and events. Conversely, the students are also invited to attend the Rotary meetings once a term to talk about their achievements.
The main focus of each year is collaboratively decided upon in the first group meeting. The students choose several different charities to support and then they spend the year pursuing innovative ways fundraise.
Some charities Interact has supported in the past include: St Veronica’s, The Hear and Say Centre and the Asylum Seeker Resource Centre.
