Volunteering for giving Farewell

Our school has a tradition of giving farewell to the graduating batch every year. When it was time to give farewell to the batch of 2019 I volunteered for giving farewell to my seniors, I was in the decorations team. I was allocated tasks like blowing the balloons, cutting and sticking the ribbons and making other decorative materials. During the event we had to do several tasks in a group which required synergizing, communicating and creativity. 

 

LO1: Identify own strengths and develop areas for growth

For decorating purposes, we had to make a lot of stuff with papers and crafts items that would make the venue look beautiful. During the process, we made paper birds hang them on the walls and ceiling. During the process, I realised that I was pretty good at Origami, as the folds and all looked perfect but I took more time to make them than others, 

 

LO 4: Show commitment to and perseverance in CAS experiences

 It was an interactive experience for me. Work was distributed among many people, but some of them did not complete the assigned work on time. So it was a bit annoying to me but anyways we had to cope up with the deadlines and complete the work on time. 

 

LO5: Demonstrate the skills and recognize the benefits of working collaboratively

As there were a number of people in the decorations team, the work was not concentrated on one person. The workload was divided among the people depending on their skills, which made it a bit easier for us to work. However, some people did not do their work but still the overall workload was still reduced. 

 

LO6: Demonstrate engagement with issues of global significance

Recently, pollution has increased a lot. There was a lot of paper waste, empty glue bottles, plastic wrappers and other stuff. This stuff was lying all over the place and nobody even noticed it, so I took the initiative to gather all the waste in one place so it was easier for didi to collect all the waste.

 

LO7: Recognize and consider the ethics of choices and actions

Since I was a kid, I was always taught about not throwing trash anywhere else but in the dustbin. When I saw the trash lying around, I did not like it. So my friend Harit and I took the initiative and gathered all the trash at one place.

 

Overall, I really had fun working with people and giving farewell to the batch of 2019, at first I thought that we were very under-prepared and I thought that they would not like or enjoy the farewell but at the day of the event came, I saw people really enjoying and laughing around. We got really good feedback from the batch of 2019 and teachers and all of them really loved the event.
