UN DAY

This year in UN Day i carried the flag for my Country Switzerland. We celebrated diverse cultures and the diversity within our school. It's a tradition to always serve food of all different cultures on UN Day and its all for free which is a very generous thing to do. Family's of the school community make food for students to taste all different cultures. Also there are in class discussions of current situations happening in the world today and we debated solutions that could solve the world issues and make a logical solution.

Saisa Football B Team

For This semester regarding sports i was trying out for the Saisa football team and i made the team but later when i learnt of how much the trip was going to be financially i was unable to travel due to personal family reasons. However what i have done instead is to train and play with the non traveling squad team ( B team ) just because i cannot go for the tournament doesn't mean i should stop traveling, and we practice every monday & wednesday. However i am a little dissapointed that i am not traveling as this is my last year of saisa sports and i was hoping to travel for two Saisa teams but ill only be going for basketball this year.

Pre-Season Warm Up For The Basketball Season

During the first Semester me and a few other teammates with our coach have been creating after school basketball practice sessions to be ready for when the real season starts as this is will greatly help my skill level in the play of basketball. Also we play on saturdays together in the event called community basketball at osc which has basically no age limits to who can play or talent level. So the skill levels vary between school kids playing and also adults with more experience and exposure toward basketball which can greatly help my performance during season as it would be a great way to learn from others and also know how to perfect myself in that sport.

S.O.S Orphanage Semester 1

Over the course of semester one i have been participating in a Community and Service called S.O.S Orphanage and in this service we interact with kids in the pool and on the field. In the pool we teach the kids how to swim for a little while and play ball games as well. When we are teaching them how to swim we support them with either floating noodles, boards, or floaties. This is to help them develop there confidence in the water and to feel more comfortable in general when they encounter water in the future. Outside of the water we also are doing activities in the field for the kids as we would play sports that are enjoyable team work games that can allow the kids to interact with each other and us students in OSC as well. As these activities are in action we are developing there communication skills with each other and helpng them all be risk takers by bringing them into the water and helping some of them conquer the fear of water. Pictures will be uploaded in the next few sessions of CAS

Sports Day 2012

MY LAST SPORTS DAY

This year i attended my 8th and last year of sports day for green house as i am now a senior and will not be returning to OSC hopefully. However i did enjoy myself playing outsite with my classmates and other students below my year as it was a new challenge to play sports with people who haven't played before or just with people i was not to familiar with. I did'nt know for example that the juniors have some people that have serious potential for sports (mainly football) and look like they don't but secretly there is some hidden talent.

The sports i participated in were football, basketball, and tug-o-war.
I enjoyed basketball the most as its one of my favorite sports and i have been playing since i was about 12. With the experience i also had on the court it was more enjoyable for me to communicate with my team and take risk that would be fun to see the outcome. As i was able to make people in my team feel more comfortable when they play basketball as i would say it doesn't matter if you miss just try your best, and with that i passed the ball a lot and gace a lot of people open shots, and some of these people had never played before so i enjoyed showing other people what i really enjoy playing as a hobby and maybe as a profession one day.

Over the course of Sports Day my team became a lot less shy as the day went on and people had been trying to do what they could to win and try their best even if they were not perfectly skilled or have not even played that type of sport before.

Reflections of each day while at the school

Day 1

Today we went to our school that needed check up on what we needed to have for the next day so we are prepared for work. i will be painting the insides of the school with two other people. Hopefully we would finish at least 3-4 walls on the first day and be able to help the others with their task's. I want to finish our school in the first two days.

Day 2

today we came to the school and played games first with the children in the first twenty minutes and later we went to onto painting the inside of the school walls and pillars. the color of paint we use to paint on the walls were light blue and yellow. i spent about hours painting about one hour digging to unbury the swing. While painting however it made me realise this could be the work i may have to do in my own house one day and so this experience has given me a small preview to my future skills ill have to deal with in the future.

Day 3

Today we finished the tree houses and also we were able to finish painting all the walls. We also sand papered the wooden swing set seats and made the children a brand new tire swing. We performed songs for then and they did the same in return. Later on we got our thank you's and appreciations from the staff and we gave the children a new school bag and toy for a girl or a boy.

Saisa Basketball For Semester 2

Semester 2
in this second semester i aim to try out for the basketball and represent my school as an athlete. I did not play basketball often till i came to Sri Lanka 8 years ago and since then i have been playing around. i find it to be an interesting and skilfull sport. I play as a shooting guard in my team and hopefully i will make starting five this year.

As semester two goes on ill be uploading some pictures of the practice sessions and local games hosted here or outside of our school.
