Club Meetings Component
Club Meetings (Week B, Thursdays, 16:00-17:00)
Club Meetings are critical because they complement the service component. It is in these meetings that you will meet with your peers and share your learnings and issues. There will be training given during club meetings as well. Interactors are expected to come for at least 75% of these club meetings.
All club meetings are held on Week B, Thursdays from 16.00-17.00
Compulsory events that are counted under club meetings for all Year 5s and Y6s are as follows:
1. Interact Camp is held in early April
2. Interact Club Installation (Incoming Exco) held usually in July
The following are the only reasons accepted as VR which is not part of your 25% allowance

2. MC
3. Green form
4. Other reasons approved by the Teachers-in-charge
All VRs or MCs need to be submitted to the IAs within 3 days, failing which, it will be regarded as an absence.
