Salsa has been such a wonderful way to relax and recharge. Our sessions have been working towards some form of performance towards the end though we hadn’t known the end product. We were recently told that it would be a performance in the activity showcase. I’m looking forward to performing soon.

HS Cuban Salsa (Creativity) S1
Decided to try something new this year! HS Cuban Salsa has been incredibly exciting – honestly the highlight of my week. Not only has this experience been enjoyable being exposed to a new form of dance, being in a group with many of my friends makes this 1.5 hrs after school a form of escapism. […]

IFP (Creativity) Final Thoughts S3 & S4 #L06 & #L07
Season 3 was difficult for many for us. It was the beginning of many unprecedented cancellations and disappointments – much of what we had worked very hard for would fail to come into fruition. One of these for me was the cancellation of the IFP Mae Sot Trip which I had only a few weeks […]

Kahaani (Creativity) Final Thoughts S2 #L05
Having completed the two performances of show day, my Kahaani experience of 2019 has come to close. Looking back upon the experience as a whole, I see a progression in commitment, fluidity but especially in collaboration. Initially, our rehearsals felt rather disjointed, segregated, fragmented with the group – everyone seemed to learn the moves either […]

Why did I join this activity? I had participated in Kahaani once previously and decided to apply again this year not only to further nurture my confidence in performance but also because I would like to support the cause that Kahaani advocates for. Kahaani is Kolkata GC’s main event to raise awareness for the organisation […]

On the 16th and 17th of October 2019, the members of our dance group put in our all in the showcasing the piece that we had invested six week’s time into. After countless of weekly rehearsals, Saturday rehearsals and the show week’s run-throughs, we were finally able to perform to a receiving audience. In retrospect, […]

CultuRama Spain (Creativity) Initial Thoughts S1
I decided to sign up for CultuRama again this year because I thoroughly enjoyed my experiences in Culturama China the previous year. By signing up for CultuRama this year, I would yet again be subjecting myself to participate in something that puts me beyond my comfort zone, challenging myself with an activity more anxiety-inducing. This […]

IFP: Jah and Kay Simulation – Learning Points (Creativity)
In our latest IFP session, students took part in a role-playing simulation where we were split into two distinct parties – the Jahs and the Kays. The simulation was meant to bring about awareness on how people can approach situations differently and how having preconceived assumptions may be harmful in any given situation. During the […]

IFP Peace Day Conference 2019 & Initial Thoughts (Creativity) S1
On the 1st of September, I participated in my very first Initiative For Peace (IFP) Peace Day Conference that was held in UWCSEA Dover. The day’s agenda included fully student-led sessions, each with a distinct purpose of directing the thinking of participating students. Walking into Dover’s school compound I felt an anxiousness in my chest […]
