Zoe's CAS Journey | My extra-curricular activities at OSC

My WWW in the Swiss Alps

It all started a few months ago when I found out that I wouldn’t be able to attend my last WWW because I had to fly to Switzerland for my brother’s graduation. It was definitely a bittersweet feeling, as this was my last opportunity to go on a school trip with friends until who knows…

Gecko Gear – Extraordinary Accomplishments

Some exciting news to share with the world is that Gecko Gear successfully made around $1000 during SAISA!!! Being able to share all of our merchandise with the SAISA community was honestly great. Seeing my visions and my goal for this service come to life was a surreal experience. With the help of everyone else…

Continuing my Sport

Since volleyball season has come to an end, I’m having a hard time without it. Therefore, instead of football, I decided to fully commit this season to playing volleyball outside of school. I want to play volleyball in university, therefore I devote most of my time to sport and some form of fitness because it…

DP Science Trip

From December 11th to 13th, the whole DP 1 class went to Sinharaja rain forest for the annual DP science trip. At first I definitely had mixed feelings about the place. I’m not the type of person to enjoy dense forest creepy crawlers but at the same time I was excited to be able to…

Drum Update

So far my drum lessons are coming along really well. I had to miss a few sessions due to SAISA and being sick but now that I’m back I’m trying to catch up with everything. My teacher has been making me do these exercises every session and I keep forgetting it but oh well! I’ve…

SAISA Volleyball 2023

I’m going to start this blog post off by saying that this was definitely the best SAISA yet. The trip started off on a Wednesday morning, the 1st of November bright at early at OSC. As we loaded the buses and said our goodbyes to the parents and teachers, our coach Mr. Turner gave us…

Volleyball tournament

There is no doubt that today was one of the best days of our volleyball season. As the anticipated volleyball tournament slowly approached, the day had finally arrived. Every single one of the girls was pumped to get together as a team and work together in order to secure our victory. I say this with…

First Service Sale

Today we had our first merchandise sale for the new service gecko gear. We had made shirts that said OSC on the front and the back simply says “Go Geckos!”. It is so exciting to see everyone’s ideas and creations come to life. We thought this shirt was perfect for students or parents who wanted…

DP Orientation

During orientation, I got to experience a bunch of new things for the first time and it was definitely a great way to start my DP years off. I first liked how this trip was a lot shorter than a week without walls and we got to do a lot in the short time that…

Drum Lessons

Recently I had my first drum lesson after school. I chose to do this for my creativity aspect. I really enjoy anything to do with music. I know how to play quite a few instruments as I’ve slowly had lessons and picked them up throughout my childhood. I started off playing piano when it was…
