Like I’ve mentioned in previous posts, I think that this period of lockdown serves as an opportunity to learn new things and unleash inner potentials to do things we didn’t know we could. For example, I decided to start taking photos and making videos of things in my garden and in the sky. Despite not […]
QUARANTINE DIARIES 3- SERVICE AROUND THE HOUSE
It might be quite difficult to imagine what kind of ‘service’ can be done when you’re locked out from the outside community and hence also restricted from our usual in-school service. However, there are many little things that can be done to help around the house and meanwhile also keep you busy. Some examples of […]
QUARANTINE DIARIES 2- STAYING CREATIVE
As I mentioned in my previous post, there are many things that Quarantine refrains you from doing. However, that allows for our mind to be more creative than ever, especially since we’re basically stuck at home and are almost obligated to try new things. Staying at home for almost 22 consecutive days has given me […]
QUARANTINE DIARIES 1- STAYING ACTIVE
As we are all aware, the world is suffering from a pandemic due to the Covid-19 virus. Ever since the virus has affected Sri Lanka and our school was shut down, I, alongside most of the island, have been at home quarantined. Being at home for weeks on end and not knowing when this is […]
SAISA GIRLS SOCCER 2020
Wow, just wow. I don’t think there is an adequate expression to describe the way I feel both about my team as a whole and about the way we performed this past week for the annual SAISA girl’s soccer tournament that was held in Muscat, Oman. We started training around November of 2019, with 3 […]
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 […]
SOCCER EXHIBITION GAME- OSC VS. GATEWAY COLLEGE
This past Saturday, 25th of January I, alongside the rest of the SAISA girl’s soccer team 2020, had the amazing opportunity of playing in the exhibition game in the Neville De Alwis- Ralph Alles Challenge annual tournament which was played by St. Thomas’ College and Gateway College (boys teams). It really gave us a feel […]
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), […]
OSC VS. MOIR- SAISA SOCCER
SAISA soccer season is back on track after the winter holidays. We are up and running again, so much so that we initiated our first game of the new year this past Tuesday. After having practiced game scenarios and crossing, we had a game vs. the soccer team at the Elizabeth Moir school. Despite the […]
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 […]
