Save the Rhino and Group Updates

Save the Rhino: 

I have been able to meet with the Save the Rhino leadership board one so far this year. We discussed our aims for the year, mostly revolving around the promotion of public awareness. We hope to give presentations to different sections of the school and raise funds to donate supplies to rangers out in the bush (we were thinking about a drone!). Save the Rhino is meeting every week 2 Thursday, and we have a fair amount of members from last year, as well as some new applications. I hope to organise the talent show with Save the Rhino.

President's Award: 

I am continuing work on my Gold award for PA. I will continue swim team (for action) and piano (for my skill), but unfortunately the KCCL service trip that I had planned to do was cancelled. Therefore, I am going to join HeArts as a substitute for KCCL. HeArts and KCCL are very similar in their activities, both working with children in difficult situations and reaching out to them through art. I have also managed to do my independent journey already - my trip to South Africa for Round Square fit with the requirements for this voyage. Moreover, having already completed the gold service trip I will be able to do a IC trip of my choice this year. I hope that I will be able to complete and obtain this award by the end of twelfth grade.

Swim Team:

This year I am going to be attending swim team three times a week, all practices taking place in the morning. I plan to go on Monday, Wednesday and Friday for swimming, and to go to the gym on Tuesday and Thursday. I am extremely idealistic and determined in my sports, and I hope that I will be able to go far this year. I will be doing a limited number of competitions, due to the rigorous nature of the IB, but will definitely commit to training completely throughout the school year.
