18 October - 31 October 2010

The past two weeks have been pretty good for me in terms of CAS

We had holidays from the 18th to the 24th, no CAS during the holidays

After the holidays the SGA continued organizing halloween

DAWG began preparing to sell refreshments at the Primary School Musical

However the biggest event for me was ISTA, 3 days of theater workshops that lasted upto 10 hours each day that were held in Jakarta, Indonesia. We left on the 27th and returned on the 31st. ISTA was a great experience and I gained a lot of Creativity recognition on ISTA as I interacted with many students from other schools (worked collaboratively with others), Developed new skills as I learnt about new forms of theater such as modern clowning, I worked with issues of global importance such as poverty as one of the performances at ISTA was from a circus of children who were living in slums and were in a circus program designed to improve their lives, I undertook new challenges and also increased my awareness of my own strengths and areas of growth in terms of theater. ISTA taught me a lot and it was a great experience for me.
