Installation ceremony of the Interact Club 2022
Rotary changes us and those we serve.
I believe we can change the world, one life at a time.
-Paul Harris
‘Service above Self’ is the guiding principle that one should try to uphold in life. To emphasize this philosophy, our school joined hands with the Rotary Central of District 3240, to revive the Interact Club, the Student Wing of Rotary International in St. Michael’s School, Durgapur. As the President of the Interact Club, I would like to pen down the memories from 14th May 2022, when the installation ceremony took place at Peerless Inn, City Centre, Durgapur.
Mrs. Madhumita Ghosh Paul, a senior teacher of our school, Mrs. Malabika Mukherjee, a member of the Rotary Central Club as well as retired teacher of our school, along with students, parents and other members were present at the ceremony. The National Anthem was followed by the necessary formalities of the Rotary Club.
With essential encouragement and valuable support of the Principal, Mr. Charles Joseph Nyss and the Vice Principal Mrs. Barnali Chattopadhyay, I, Jaya Paul, Arnab Pramanick and Binay Roy were selected as the President, the Secretary and the Treasurer of the Interact Club respectively. Badges and collar lapel pins were handed over to us. We were familiarized with the functioning of the Club such as procedures of conducting meetings and other responsibilities. The ceremony was concluded with a photo session to memorialize the event, followed by dinner for everyone.
The event marked the beginning of a new journey for the youth of this generation and our school, as we were vested with duties, leadership and commitment for the betterment of the society.
