The interact Co presidents, Kathy and Charmaine, have been busy writing interview questions and scenarios to present to the 2024 potential leaders. Interact co-president interviews were held in Week 1 of Term 4 on Monday 2 of October and Tuesday 3 October. They occurred during lunchtimes on both days. After advertising to the student body, six candidates were selected after handing in their resumes. Each of the six interviewees were interviewed by a panel consisting of Charmaine and Kathy as well as Ms Ziyad and myself. Ms Ziyad and I acted as observers. Kathy and Charmaine presented the questions, took their notes and discussed the attributes of each candidate with little input from either Ms Ziyad or myself.
The girls who were interviewed all showed talent and potential to be outstanding leaders. The questions covered quite a lot of ground ranging from; “How would you describe yourself in one sentence?” to “Outline your leadership qualities and which one sets you apart?” The questions were followed by two totally different scenarios that each of the candidates had to address. Following the formal questions in the scenarios, each of the candidates were then asked some personal questions, for example, “How many leaderships positions are you going to apply for to undertake next year?” Each of the candidates then had the opportunity to ask the panel, Charmaine and Kathy, any questions that they felt they would like to know.
Kathy and Charmaine chose the two new co-captains and their appointments were announced the following Wednesday. The new co-captains will have the responsibility of interviewing and selecting their executive team for the 2024 year by the end of this year.
Congratulations to Chloe Chan and Kai Xunn Leong, 2024 Interact Co-Presidents.
