Interact recently had its annual conference to review this school year’s activities and plan for next year. There were thirty-nine delegates from all years including the outgoing committee in Year 13 who returned to school to take part. The students came together to research and discuss charities for next year and elect a new committee. Interactors got to know each other better, working together and enjoying lunch, following a busy schedule of activities.
PHHS Interact is the charity and community group at Prince Henry’s High School which organises fun events, shows and non-uniform days to raise money for our chosen charities and other national fundraisers, for example, Children in Need and Red Nose Day. The students develop their leadership skills by planning and delivering the events.
Birmingham Children’s Hospital Charity and Life for African Mothers are our currently our local/national and international charities for this school year. This year Prince Henry’s has raised over £5500 so far, of which approximately £2000 will be donated to each of our chosen charities.
After a great deal of research at the conference Interact is pleased to announce Prince Henry’s will support the Lighthouse Evesham, a local charity working with families in crisis situations in the Vale of Evesham and World Vision to focus on relieving child poverty around the world by purchasing gifts; water taps, school supplies, mosquito nets are examples of gifts available.
Iona Carson was voted in as President supported by Alexandra Rus as Vice President. Jessica Williams and Adam Bailey are our new Secretary and Treasurer.
Interact is delighted to have a new committee and after a successful conference, is refreshed and the students are motivated to work hard planning more fun events next year.
