Performing Arts Concert – La Passion Dev Reves

The performing arts concert was held on the 16^th and 17^th of May at Mrs. Lee Goon Huan Hall in ACS (Barker). I was given a chance to be the ambassador for this event. Two weeks prior to the event, Benedict, Tabitha and I took turns to go on stage and introduce short extracts from the musical and try to encourage the rest of the school population to attend this event. There were many different arts group going on stage every few days. There were short performances by the choir, to the guitar ensemble, to the string ensemble and so on. I believe that the short extracts gave people an idea of what the concert was going to offer. Although I didn’t have to attend the huge rehearsals that some of the students were involved in, I could tell it really drained a lot of people of their time and energy. The best part I like about this event was blowing up close to 500 plus balloons (with the help of student councilors and delegates) in preparation for the finale. The result was stupendous and everyone commended that ending the curtain call with the many balloons was spectacular! I am glad to be part of this event that would go down in the history of ACS (international).

Sports Module : Tchouckball

Tchoukball is a very new sport to me. When I had my first lesson I was completely lost because of rules I was unaware of. Like no more than 3 steps can be made, you can’t hold the ball for more than 3 seconds, etc. Even the scoring of points is very different. I thought it’d be something like handball but it wasn’t that simple! After the second or third session, I slowly got the hang of the game and more tactics and positions of each player were taught. I enjoyed playing games the most because not only do we learn more about the skill and the game, we also have fun with each other. Out of classroom activities like this create a medium of bonding and communication with my other peers. I realize that I don’t just have to hang out with them through schoolwork but also through sports activities. It’s one of the lessons in school I always look forward to. I can’t wait for the next sports modules the school is going to offer.
