Kahaani 2019 was the second, and last, time I took part in the Indian dance show. Created by a school GC, the event aimed to raise funds and awareness for disabled girls in India, and thus merely being involved was an honor as I got to engage with an issue of global importance which also felt personal to me, being[…]

Photos from Service
Below are two photos at different moments during my Local Service, Migrant Workers Centre. The first one depicts our group presenting a pitch to Mr. Rick Hannah regarding the idea of a photo exhibition set up at school displaying photos taken by migrant workers working in the UWCSEA community themselves. The objective of this project is to create awareness and[…]
Digital Arts
Examples of some work I have created in my Digital Arts Creativity for CAS. These are two examples of Photoshop drawn artworks. I am fairly inexperienced with Photoshop and thus joined this creativity to learn new skills which I think will be extremely useful for me to use when creating artwork for my University Application Portfolio for the Art schools[…]
Project Week Progress
It’s easiest to condense this down into bullet points, for this process has been a long one. Long story short: Our group went from 5 girls back down to 4. I am more comfortable with my current group and am very happy with the dynamics within it. It has tested our communication and teamwork skills, right from the very beginning[…]
Fresh Start: Muay Thai @ The Jungle
I’ve recently joined a new Muay Thai fitness gym, The Jungle at Boat Quay. I wanted a change in gym because my old one was not suited to the type of individual attention and class-style I was looking for in order to build on my previous CAS experience. The new gym is more modern and approaches the discipline with a[…]
First Media Coordinator Post: Project Week
Two things that I want you guys in my group to keep in mind when taking photos or videos during our trip to Gili. Avoid clichés. We don’t need airplane wing photos, boring ocean landscape shots or close ups of us in the reflection of our sunglasses. We need to take photos with a message and a meaning to make[…]
New Creativity: Digital Arts Club
It’s now come to Season 3 of CAS choices, and I selected Digital Arts Club from the choices given. This to me is a really important choice as it will teach me new skills using computers and technology to create art that I have previously had limited experience with. All I know are Photoshop basics, which I would love to[…]
Reflecting on Reflecting (???)
Whenever teachers encourage me to “reflect on what you took away from this experience”, my first response tends to be an eye roll. Maybe a snicker. The idea that writing about things I learned in this format made me think of a diary… of my school life. I didn’t see the point. But I am starting, slowly, to understand its[…]
Beyond Snapshots: Exhibit A
Some examples of photos taken in my Creativity for CAS, “HS Beyond Snapshots: ‘Capturing’ not ‘Taking’ Images”. Displayed are three of the areas/skills in photography that we have explored the past couple of weeks – Birds Eye View/Worms Eye View, Detail and Composition. I find myself really enjoying this activity because I am a very creative person and photography has[…]
