The team "Just Do It" presenting their mission/vision to the general assembly

With the skilful handling of the workshop facilitators, the junior students went through fun-filled and energetic activities which showcased their talents individually and as a team.  One of the first activities was the Levelling of Expectations wherein the class presented their vision and expectations of the workshop as well as what their class would want to happen (their wish list).  Another activity was for a mixed group of students to form a group and formulate their own mission/vision as individual students and as a batch which was highlighted by a presentation.

Probably, the most exciting activity was the “Amazing Race” where the teams made up of mixed students from the various sections competed in several contests.   One contest involved preparing paper trophies which showed the ingenuity of the students.  Another contest was the “Spider Web” where the individual members of the team are helped by the other team members to go through the web.  The third contest was “Stepping Stones” where the individual team members walked on shaky stone slabs/ pieces and crossed over while trying to maintain their balance.  The emphasis in these contests was teamwork and reliance on one another to complete the contest.  The team with the fastest time won the race. 

In terms of class participation/ attendance, Class Assertiveness was given first prize while Class Loyalty and Class Reverence garnered second and third prizes.
