Event: Installation Ceremony of Office Bearers & Board of Directors, Interact Club, St. John’s

High School

Learning outcomes:

Foster servant leadership by translating empathy into concrete community action; instil

Description:

The Interact Club — Rotary’s youthful vanguard — is the quintessence of service-led leadership,

where civic acumen meets the habit of helping.

Today, St. John’s formally installed its Office Bearers and Board of Directors in a ceremony that felt

equal parts covenant and curtain-raiser. Ms. Abha Joshi Sharma, eminent architect and President of

Rotary Club Chandigarh, lent gravitas and a perspicacious charge: “Leave footprints where it

matters most.” Surrounded by Rotarians, the Principal, and devoted coordinators, the students

received that charge with visible resolve.

Between measured rhetoric and warm applause, the Interactors pledged to translate empathy into

enterprise, ideas into neighbourhood action, and promise into steady practice. The occasion was

both culmination and commencement — a solemn mandate to catalyse change, not merely

celebrate intention. The Club departed from the dias with a simple, albeit ambitious rubric: be

useful, be brave, and let small acts — repeated, resolute, magnanimous — quietly remake the world.
