Each member of the group was to bring an ingredient to make milkshakes such as Oreo cookies, Nutella, milk, ice cream and blenders. This way, we had equally shared the responsibilities. We decided to have four types of milkshakes Oreo chocolate, Oreo vanilla, Nutella chocolate and Nutella vanilla. During the sale I was responsible for making the Nutella shakes. The feedback regarding the milkshakes was very good. I am glad that everyone appreciated our milkshaking skills. The revenue from this sale was one the highest we have gotten during the past tw

SAISA GIRLS' VOLLEYBALL 2015: COMBO! This year volleyball season was special for our school as we hosted two tournaments at once, for both boys and girls. It was very exciting and at the same time intense as it is quite difficult to arrange two large tournament in a relatively small school like OSC. Nevertheless, everything went quite well and tournaments were scheduled and managed properly what made it possible to organize all the matches in three days. Our team faced some challenges during this season. Many skilled players from the starting six left the school. In particular, we lost our main setter and captain of the team. We also have gotten many new players for whom this season was first. Even though we did not reach the pinnacle of victory this year we still were lucky to gain an amazing experience which eventually developed us as professional volleyball players. Over the season I have constantly noticing considerable improvement among all the players in our team. Per

FIRST AID COURSE: increase chances of survival    In the beginning of September I was part of a first aid course organized by our school together with Falck (medical services group). I signed up for this course as I considered these skills utterly useful. They allow you to save people’s lives and enlarge your own chances of survival (in different life situations). Moreover, as I am planning to choose medical sciences as my majors in university, this course was good for my application form and further education. The course was split into 2 parts: the focus of the first part was a Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation (CPR) and an Automated External Defibrillator (AED) while the second part was mainly about the basic first aid in general. For both parts we were following the steps: Lecture (theoretical) – first, we were watching manual videos; afterwards, our trainer explained us the process and techniques in more details; Application (practical) – we were practicing
