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.
