Interact
Founded in 1962, the Interact program has grown dramatically into a Rotary-sponsored international program for service minded young people over the age of 14 and in the final four years of their secondary schooling. Clubs can be either community-based or attached to the local high school.
Interact Clubs in 2010 operate at
Dalrymple High School, sponsored by George Town Rotary Club.
Devonport High School, sponsored by Devonport Rotary Club
Latrobe High School, Sponsored by Latrobe Rotary Club
Leighland Christian School, sponsored by Ulverstone Rotary Club
Penguin High School, sponsored by Ulverstone West Rotary Club

The purpose of Interact is to provide opportunities for young people to work together 
in a world fellowship dedicated to service and international understanding.
An Interact club is organised, sponsored and supervised by a Rotary club and, where school based, approved and encouraged by school authorities. There is a Standard Interact Club Constitution prescribed by Rotary International which each club must adopt. Local By-Laws provide a limited flexibility.
Clubs meet not less than twice per month. Each sponsoring Rotary club provides an Interact chairman who liaises regularly with the club and ensures attendance by a Rotarian at every meeting.
In May 2009 the Interact Club of George Town held a Casual Clothes Day and a Loud
Shirt Day at Port Dalrymple School and Star of the Sea
College. $300 was raised and donated to “Taralye”, a
research group which helps children with hearing impairments.
The winners of George Town Interact Club “Loud Shirt” are shown in the photo.
This committee assists Clubs in supporting existing Interact Clubs and promotes and assists in the formation of new Clubs. Chair
