Student Leaders Camp

The student leaders camp which was held for both Student Councillors and Prefects took place on the 4th and 5th of April. Through this camp, we learned more about leadership skills and obstacles a leader might face in the year ahead. for example, there was one particular game in which a few of us had to throw across a distance where at the end, our teammate would be standing with a bucket on top of his head. we were suppose to throw coloured plastic balls into the tiny bucket and see which team (there were two teams competing) would get in the most number of balls. it was a very challenging game as all the balls would go into the bucket, and instead would just bounce out of it! but we learnt that the different coloured balls represented many different opinions, but not all would be able to go into the bucket; which means not all opinions would be accepted/heard. therefore, we must perservere no matter what, as leaders.

I learned alot more through this camp and am definitely more motivated in the year ahead. there is another camp in june and I am looking forward to that because I know I am bound to learn more on how to keep improving at being a good leader to others.

Touch Rugby Girls’ Team

These past three months have been quite challenging because when I started out in the beginning of the year, I didn’t know what to anticipate or expect from the team. There were new members in which the not-so-new/experienced members had to be extra patient with in guiding the new ones of the game’s skills. Of course, we were learning new things too but in terms of basics, the new members were quite raw. Patience is a virtue. And I believed that’s what the old members held in their principles; after all, we were just as raw when we started the sport.

 

I believe what was the one thing achieved most in these three months was the unity amongst the team. Initially, not everyone was comfortable with one another but as time passed, we girls grew familiar with each other. I found myself getting to know girls I hardly every have more than 2mins conversations with. And of course, the friendship I already had with the other older players was also strengthened. And with this strong bond and unity amongst the team, it has established a sense of belonging and of course efficiency and co-operation that contributed to teamwork. Teamwork; definitely an important value especially in a team.

 

I am honoured and glad that I can still be part of this team, at least until I step down when I’m in year 6. There would definitely be more challenges and obstacles ahead for us. However, I am confident and have faith in this team for us to overcome whatever lays ahead for us. To God be the Glory, the best is yet to be.
