September - October

Creativity:

• This semester I have been asked to join a Drama production that is being made by Skylord. This will take over most of the aspects of creativity as I have to help design my constume, train in my lines at home and with other people in the play. This will help to develop Increased their awareness of their own strengths and areas for growth, undertaken new challenges, work collaboratively with others and develop new skills.

Action:

• This terms I took part in the SAISA swimming activity. We started in late August with our training and trained hard and long during the weeks before SAISA. Three weeks before the tornament, we were supposed vote for a team captain, and with an unanimous votes, I was voted Team Captain this year as well. SAISA swimming develops me as a person, which links me to the CAS criteria:
• Increased their awareness of their own strengths and areas for growth, worked collaboratively with others, shown perseverance and commitment in their activities and develop new skills.

While at the competition, the people that travelled with us took some pictures:

While at SAISA i set 3 SAISA records, got 8 medals and contributed in a mayor way to the relay team. The pictures above show me getting a few of my medals as well as cheering on the other people in the pool. 

Community and Service:

These two months we have been working hard to plan the Battle of the Bands concert. We made two different types of advertisments to get people to come to the event. Karl made the samples below to get people to come to support the kids with cleft lip and palete. Bharat was able to find the picture used in this on Google, while Karl made the changes to make it origninal.


This is a sample of the poster:



This is a sample of the raffle ticket (probably not the final one)






We also went to visit the hospital with the kids. We saw all the children that are being operated for the cleft lip and palete disease, where they are recovering after surgery or being prepared for the surgery. We were unable to communicate them because we were only allowed for a small time as some of the kids were just about to go in for their surgery. Some of the surgeries that were happening at this time were the ones that we had paid for, which made the hard work that we do really rewarding.
