OSCars

This year's OSCARS event was a huge success. For the first time it was held at a hotel instead of the school's auditorium. The theme was candy land and the decorations were very colourful and playful. We adjusted the food to the theme and served merely desserts which included a chocolate fountain, crepes & waffles and free candy spread out over the tables. The room in general was decorated very nicely and the atmosphere with the lights and music was very fun. All students and teachers complimented the event and enjoyed themselves throughout. I learned during this event about time management and planning since I ended up organising the trophies, the mugs, all prizes, the Dj, and paying the photographer. This was very stressful and took a lot of my time and energy but it was definitely worth it since the event was such a success and all our hard work went towards that. I feel more comfortable taking on responsibilities as a leader now and will continue to do so and improve those skills in the future.

Gecko Factor

The gecko factor show was a huge success in raising more money for the OSCars. We had 12 performances ranging from dancing to beat boxing to singing. Although the audience was not as large as expected, the audience that was there responded very well to the judges and the performance. Due to the rehearsal earlier there were no technological mistakes and the show ran smoothly. Below are some pictures taken by the hired photographer of some of the performers

Mother-Tongue Assembly + Fun with Languages

A couple weeks ago was international mother-tongue appreciation day. Due to my involvement in the mother-tongue literacy service group, we decided to have an assembly for the whole school on this day fit with speeches and performances dedicated to various languages and their importance. The duration of the assembly was about 30 minutes. During these 30 minutes we had a speech, a reading of a german poem, a multicultural song by the primary school, a performance by 2 DP drama students, and finally some interviews. The interviews were conducted by Diana and myself. We spoke to korean, chinese, spanish, sinhalese, and chinese students regarding their mother-tongue and its affect on their life. Below are pictures taken from the assembly. Although i am not in it, there is a picture of  the primary school performance below. 

FUN WITH LANGUAGES

Our service group fun with languages has been very successful so far. We have been able to meet twice already and both times we have worked with the kids to teach them new languages and have fun along the way. We are due to meet every service session until the end of the year. After every meeting we discuss what we have achieved with the primary students that day and come up with ideas for activities for the next session. All the kids seem really eager to learn the languages and their excitement and cooperation helps us with our comfort and our dedication to them and the service group. Below are a couple pictures I took during the two sessions. As leader I am very proud of how far this service group has come since it was created and hopefully we will be able to continue this activity and expand further
