Upcoming goals for Alzheimers's

During our Service hour today we discussed the events that will take place during the remainder of the semester.

- Next week we will have a talk from a parent of the school Mrs. Elena Brodholt- Kourchenko, who works closely with the Foundation. This will be a learning experience for everyone and an opportunity to understand more about the disease.

- We also discussed the need to make a visit to the centre again.

Since it has now been opened and is functioning as a Day Care Centre now, our visit this time will enable us to actually interact with the patients.

We have planned for the visit to happen on 17th November and prior to that we have decided to ask donations from the school for board games such as Chess, Bingo, etc that we can take for the patients.

- The idea of a 'Memory Box' was put forward which will be directed at teaching students the value and importance of preserving memories. This is still in the planning stages and more information will be available soon.

Helping out on UN Day :)

Today was UN Day at our school; a day in which students express their individual nationalities and cultures through dress, food, etc; a true expression of 'Unity in Diversity'.

This year's topic was Child Right's and each homeroom held discussions and debates about what they think a Child's Rights are, and what we can do in the future to improve them.

I was part of co-supervising this activity, and through this experience developed my leadership and organization skills, as well as learn a lot about an issue of Global importance.

Tennis continues...

I have been attending my regular Tennis lessons on Mondays and my coach is now training me to take part in a friendly tournament that he puts up for his students each year.

This would be my first real tennis match and I am quite excited (and scared too!).

Lessons have now been focusing on the actual game situation and with lots of practice rallying and serving.
