Turtle Releasing

On June the 4th, the Uplands Environmental Society and few other people went to Rasa Sayang Hotel to join the "Save the Turtle" event. Basically what we did was to build a turtle sand sculpture and had a competition with the rest of the participants and after that we released small turtles into the sea. We had fun and also did something that is related to the global environmental issue.

U18 Basketball Dalat Tournament

We had a basketball tournament on the 15th and the 16th of May 2009. There were 8 teams together and we played games over the 2 days for the championship.
Our team was playing very well and we made ourselves to the finals. But unfortunately, we lost on the finals by 3 points and we came in second.
Although we came in second, I think it was a good experience for both myself and the team. Most of the players will be staying for next school year so we can reflect what we are weak in and work hard towards our next tournament. Thank you to Ms. Ross, who is our team coach and leaving at the end of this year, we will work even harder than we have done so far and improve our team.

Car Boot Sale

We had a Car Boot Sale on the 6th of June. We Year 12 students organized a bike riding event combined with the PTA's Car Boot Sale. We had some food stalls, games and some performances. Our aim was to raise fund for our up coming CAS trip to Kuching. I was in charge of the performances and was also helping out the Japanese food stall.
I had to make sure who are performing on the day and what time, and had to make a schedule for the performances. We also raised few money from the performances by putting a hat in front of the performers.
In the Japanese food stall, I was helping to cook Takoyaki, one of the Japanese traditional food and also to sell them.

I think it was quite successful since we raised some money from the performances, which I wasn't expecting and we sold quite a lot of our Takoyaki and raised lots of money from it.
