After having a couple of sessions with Auntie Mary, Eddie Lam (coordinator at Apex Harmony Lodge) decided to substitute her for another resident, given the severity of her condition. Although this was a bit disheartening, we were presented with a new opportunity to interact with one of the dementia patients online. My group was provided […]

Gymnastics CAS Reflection 6 (#LO5)
Since my last reflection, quite a few things have happened with regards to our team and the itinerary going forward into the next calendar year. For one, both head coaches Tiffany and Wayne have left, meaning that we have had two less coaches in the gym at all times whilst we wait for replacements. Although […]
Cognitive Rehabilitation CAS Reflection 4 (#LO5)
On Monday we organised and held our first google meeting with residents from Apex Harmony Centre. Over the weekend the leadership team and I spent some time coordinating with Eddie Lam who is in charge, all in order for Monday’s logistics to run smoothly. Considering I am the logistics officer, I had to set up […]
#LO2 General Reflection
As I am a substantial way through my CAS experience, I have certainly already experienced a multiplicity of setbacks and challenges in each of my activities. Whether the challenge is physical, mental, or emotional, each challenge has presented itself in a different way depending on my position. For example, in my service I have experienced […]

Along with my other close friend Jaz, we are the three highest-level female gymnasts in the school and we have been through many […]

Unfortunately, our service partner Apex Harmony Lodge still hasn’t responded to our service’s email about reaching out to them for online […]
Marimbas Reflection 4 (#LO4)
As the release date for this year’s Culturama video was in a week’s time, on Tuesday we had a final rehearsal followed by an hour long recording session after school. Given that we only starting learning the piece two practice sessions before, it was certainly a bit of a struggle to get all the parts […]
Cognitive Rehabilitation CAS Reflection 2 (#LO2)
After returning from a two week break following a period of intense COVID restrictions where service meetings were called off, today we finally reunited. A couple of weeks ago I had filled out a google form in which I applied for a leadership position in the service, and I was pleased to learn that I […]
Culturama Reflection 5 (#LO2)
Yesterday was show day, finally bringing my Culturama journey to an end. In preparation for the evening, we had a final rehearsal at lunchtime which all ran pretty smoothly apart from the fact some of the boys weren’t familiar with some parts. As a result, our leaders had to take initiative and polish things over […]
