The Bookworm’s Bazaar – Room To Read’s Literary Festival

Just around two weeks ago meand my service had worked incredibly hard to host our very own literary festival. We had quite a successful one last year and were hoping this time it would run just as smoothly. Over several weeks of planning we were able to come together to host our festival once more….

Unwinding on Jaffna’s Shores – Week Without Walls – Northern Narratives

This trip was by far one of the most interesting and adventurous trips I have been on in my time in OSC. First off I had many of my close friends joining me on this trip who definitely made it much for enjoyable for me. Our trip was based up north in Jaffna, I picked…

Vidyaloka’s Got Talent – OSC & Room to Read’s Joint Concert

Room to Read was looking for a creative way to raise money. Inspired by previous events such as literature festivals and karaoke evenings, we chose to collaborate with Vidyaloka on a performance. We often showed our skills in a number of ways at OSC, but we soon discovered that not all schools had the same…

Beyond the Classroom Into the Rain Forest (Group IV Science Trip)

The DP group science trip was something I will never forget, especially given the risks and hardships I encountered along the way.

Room to Read Beginnings 2023-24

It’s been a little over a month since the start of the new school year, and my service group has been developing in the right direction ever since. As a service leader, my peers and I meet with our advisor (Ms. Lockwood) every Tuesday at lunch to discuss and plan out how our service would…

DP Orientation Trip

When comparing this to my previous experiences at Border Lands I realized that I learned a lot more this time than the last few times I’ve visited. During this trip, I learned to work more with others and be more collaborative. Some of my highlights along the way were the 12-meter jump into the lake,…
