Charity event turnout...

The African Charity Bazaar turned out to be a great success as they were able to raise more 30 000Rb for the children (some of whom we were lucky enough to meet). As the event was attended by a lot of Russians, it gave me the opportunity to practice my russian skills, which was helpful because I do not study the language anymore.

Academic Dishonesty!

Mr. Gray asked us to produce a film depicting academic honesty in a creative way.  Although the process of making the movie proved to be more difficult than anticipated as everyone had different ideas of the way the movie should be, we compromised and collaborated with one another to produce a movie we thought would portray academic honesty in a creative way.

Our film was called the domino effect (of cheating), which tried to show and exaggerated yet plausible scenario of what could happen if one decided to be academically dishonest.  Although the movie turned out quite well, we failed to read the requirements of the video and ended up violating some of the regulations.  Not only has making this movie developed my skills in collaborating with others, it has also made me aware of my strengths and weaknesses and one of the weaknesses include the fact that i can not act :(

Anyways, here is our film on academic honesty, i hope you enjoy :)

Hockey Club!!

Going to hockey club on a regular basis has helped improved my abilities and working together and communicating with the other members of our team has made it easier to play as a team.  Even though all the members do not come regularly we make the best of the situation and each week we are able to learn and develop skills regardless of the amount of people who show up.  I plan to take pictures during the next session in order to show evidence of what we do.

African Charity Bazaar

It has come to my attention that an African charity bazaar will be held on 18 May to help raise money for African-Russian orphans who lead a hard life as their parents abandoned them when they were babies; not to mention the fact that they have to suffer from discrimination.  Yarubbi and I have offered our assistance at this event by selling food as well as raffle tickets for the entire day.  Although the work may seem small, we hope that the day might generate enough money to help the children. Not only that, but taking part and trying to help, will help cover the service portion of CAS.

Dance club...:)

Even though we do not have many members in our dance club, it’s still going strong with just Yarubbi and I.  We have finished creating the music for our dance medley, so all that is left to do is record the routine and show you what we have done.  Just so you have an idea of what to expect, this is the music we plan to dance to. :)
