INTERACT CLUB  - Noosa District State High School

SLEEP ROUGH - On a very cold winter night last month students at Noosa District SHS School slept out at the school Mimburi Campus farm.
‘Sleep Rough’ is a fundraising event organised by the school Interact Rotary Club raising $4,179-30 that will go towards vital services for those experiencing homelessness.This was no fun camping adventure, with temperatures in single figures, many students said they had never been so cold in their lives and the experience provided an understanding of the condition faced by some 22,000 Queenslanders who are without a home.
Past President Bob McCrossin thanked the students and teachers who both supported and participated in Sleep Rough and acknowledged the donations given by students at the school.

2025 INTERACT CONFERENCE

Rotary Youth Driver Awareness - RYDA features a highly engaging and memorable one-day workshop which front-loads students’ understanding of road safety. On Friday 25 July students from the Good Shepherd Lutheran College and Coolum Beach Christian College attended a day of both classroom instruction and practical demonstrations.

 

Delegates also enjoyed hearing from motivational speakers including a key note speech from Consolate Kabaliza, a proud Congolese woman and a trailblazer for African Women and Entrepreneurs. Her incredible journey showcases the power of determination, breaking societal norms, and creating opportunities where they may not have existed before. 

Interact clubs are school based Rotary clubs bringing together young people ages 12-18 to develop leadership skills while discovering the power of Service Above Self. The students select local, national and global projects to help both practically and financially through their fundraising efforts.
