INTERACT CLUB
REPORT
FOR THE ACADEMIC YEAR 2020-2021
The academic year 2020-2021 was no ordinary year for the Montego Bay High School’s Interact
Club based on the fact that our club had to venture into the online space to conduct our weekly
meetings. The journey into the online space was a challenge for many other clubs but the
executive body of Montego Bay High School’s Interact Club was ready and rearing and as such
we were able to have a wonderful year in the online space. We wish to thank all students and
staff who have helped and supported us in our endeavours.
