Wow.. what an interesting 2 years it has been. To say this global pandemic was unexpected is an understatement. I never imagined my last two years of high school would be spent mostly online, but I have learned and grown so much from this experience, and I continue to do so. Ever since March of […]

CMB FASHION WEEK
Having officially been out of quarantine for a couple of months now, and having been in face-to-face school for 3 weeks, life seems to be returning, to some extent, back to normal. This implies that I’m able to not only socialize more often with friends, but I’m also more prone to go out on the […]
QUARANTINE DIARIES 5: HERE WE GO AGAIN
Here we go again… school is online and we’re at home, what’s new? After almost 8 months of Covid-19 taking over our lives, we find ourselves in a similar scenario of having to go back into quarantine. To be honest, the first time this happened, back in March, it was somewhat exciting; having to stay […]
DP2 CAS GOALS
CAS is an essential component of the DP program, and, in my eyes, heightens our knowledge on topics other than academic-based ones. However, CAS is definitely going to look different this year, due to the ongoing pandemic. But that doesn’t mean there aren’t things we can do with regards to creativity, activity, and service, it […]
IMPACT: ONLINE SEMINAR 2020
Initially, my plans for this summer included traveling to Washington D.C and attending a summer program at Georgetown with a focus on Entrepreneurship and Business. However, that clearly didn’t end up happening, and I then had to think of other ways to still continue to learn throughout the summer. This is when I decided to […]
WWW- CYCLING TRIP 2020
Where to even start? This past week I had the incredible opportunity to go on a biking trip for 5 days in which we covered around 200km all throughout the Sigiriya area. To say it was one of the best school trips I’ve had is an understatement. From the people to the activities to the […]
HOMERUN
Homerun is a tradition that OSC has held for the past couple of years. It’s something that I’m unfamiliar with because it hasn’t been done at any of my previous schools. Homerun is essentially a 5km (approx) distance that can be walked or run. The point is to bring everyone together, (kids, parents, teachers, everyone), […]
POPCORN TIME
Being part of the E.S.S class we hold an important role when it comes to environmental issues and ways in which we can help lessen their impact on our world. In the OSC campus, we have a biogas plant that uses compost waste from uneaten food to produce gas which can later be used as […]
DP1 ORIENTATION
During the first month of the DP1 school year, we got the chance, as a whole grade, to visit the Borderlands campsite situated in Kitulgala. Even after having been in many different schools, I have never experienced something quite like this trip. Don’t get me wrong, I’ve been on multiple school trips, but they all […]
DP1 GOALS
In my eyes, CAS is a chance to expand and take our learning far beyond the walls of a classroom. Getting the opportunity to develop our skills in the aspects of creativity, activity, and service will not only deepen our understanding of those areas but also help us grow as an individual. I believe that […]
