Ella's last training session :( We had so much fun playing together!

Rehearsals

shah172758_1 — 2025-09-11 03:04:01 UTC

Culturama practice session during Wednesday lunchtimes where we just went through our dance sequence for the first song, 'Uyi Amma'.

shah172758_1 — 2025-09-11 03:12:51 UTC

We worked on tactics and speed/reflexes in the morning - the sunrise is always so beautiful to view :)

shah172758_1 — 2025-09-11 03:18:38 UTC

On the 8th we worked on defending and attacking, as well as communication and played a match as usual - where I feel I improved my passes and touches.

shah172758_1 — 2025-09-15 13:32:13 UTC

today we worked on running - improving our fitness spaces, and I also reflected on my own performance where I realised that I have to improve intensity/power/strength with kicks and touches, but overall have gotten better at defending and positioning myself, also making stronger connections and better team spirit :)

shah172758_1 — 2025-11-14 00:09:02 UTC

Reflections: Culturama India has been a highly enriching experience. By performing various Indian dance forms, we have truly exhibited UWC's aim to understand perspectives and unite cultures.

shah172758_1 — 2025-11-14 00:10:55 UTC

Reflections: The football season has been highly encouraging and very fruitful. It helped me connect with more of my peers and aided in the development of sportsmanship.

Beautiful views while playing and training - prepping for out tournament on 27th - first interschool competition for me so I was excited and nervous at the same time - deciding positions and team strategy

shah172758_1 — 2026-01-18 23:59:44 UTC

Tournament day - sadly lost both matches but were very close by only 1 point for the second match - overall great experience and got to play in the rain as well in the end! - learned a lot of team strategy and collaborative effort

shah172758_1 — 2026-01-19 00:00:10 UTC

Reflecting back on tournament - but many people didn’t show up - overall just did a few dribbles and passing around but tried to get back into form after the intense tournament

shah172758_1 — 2026-01-19 00:00:39 UTC

After Oct break - required more training and getting back in the zone - last session - kind of emotional and had to say goodbye to the great coaches and many friends - overall very satisfying experience

Show days!!

shah172758_1 — 2026-01-19 00:02:11 UTC

6th and 7th October - show days! - extremely fun and exciting! First Culturama representing India was so special and the moments on stage were very remarkable - took many photos to remember this occasion - cherish memories - friends also came to watch

shah172758_1 — 2026-01-19 00:03:40 UTC

Activity that we did

⁃ Role-playing - for wants and needs - into the crux of necessity and conflict - intersection between these 2 - through simple diagrams and visualizations/models

Saturday session

shah172758_1 — 2026-01-19 00:04:06 UTC

Saturday session with Dover students - with breakfast and lunch - performed a lot of icebreaker rounds which were quite fun as we got to know each other much better - final role-playing/delegation activity - to resolve conflict and bring peace to an invaded country

Planning - hard at work!

shah172758_1 — 2026-01-19 00:04:58 UTC

Planning our next event which was a trivia quiz on the last week of school and hard at work - staying back after season

shah172758_1 — 2026-01-19 00:05:18 UTC

Actual trivia quiz photos on cardboards - on last session before the actual activity - planned everything logistically and relatively well - good thing was we had a diversity and variety of non-teaching staff and questions were not very straightforward so there is always some learning involved

Trivia quiz days!

shah172758_1 — 2026-01-19 00:05:50 UTC

1/3 day of trivia quiz - asking people questions and interacting with everyone who came to our stall - sold more than 90 cookies (our target) and mostly everyone couldn’t answer 1 or 2 questions posed to them - very fun and engaging way of throwing balls into the boxes - however a lot of waiting time involved - and often a crowd was created who we couldn’t control/manage - created an entire SWOT analysis

shah172758_1 — 2026-01-19 00:07:15 UTC

First day - meeting all fgs together and introducing ourselves - got to know more abt the logistical side of things and also what each fg exactly does

UN Human Rights Day!

shah172758_1 — 2026-01-19 00:07:50 UTC

Actual day - helped set up the tents, and other stationary/equipment - overall quite an engaging event - had a collective photo-booth stall and looking to create a banner sort of result - tangible - created SWOT analysis for each fg as well as overall - now preparing for International Women’s Day

Minutes Doc

shah172758_1 — 2026-01-19 00:08:47 UTC

Minutes doc - planning for our next event - UN human rights day - many things involved including marketing - making all the posters - pasting all around campus and coordinating with fgs to ensure smooth flow of events - all equipment needed etc

New item started (Ashtapathi)!

shah172758_1 — 2026-01-19 00:12:30 UTC

Started a new item (ashtapathi) - a dance piece worshipping Lord Krishna - we were learning hand movements and gestures first since that is easier and needs more time to remember

Last class of 2025

shah172758_1 — 2026-01-19 00:14:04 UTC

Last day of class before Dec break so we decided to take many fun photos with our Guruji! Overall, we were just wrapping up the item, Thillana and had a good time chatting

First class after Dec break!

shah172758_1 — 2026-01-19 00:17:06 UTC

First class after Dec break so we all were just catching up and discussing what we did respectively in our vacations. We revised the Thillana item which is very nritta (only 1 hand) so it is a bit tiring.

Reflection

shah172758_1 — 2026-02-06 00:10:17 UTC

My roommates and me <33. They were very very helpful to me and were genuinely the kindest people I have met. This was the last day of the conference: we were all very sad to leave but cherished the memories.

Demonstration

shah172758_1 — 2026-02-06 00:10:23 UTC

Last day - the delegates facilitated us with 'Tais' - traditional scarves.

Action

shah172758_1 — 2026-02-06 00:10:28 UTC

Session about Identity — discussion with the delegates about the 'Gingerbread diagram'. I made many connections with the youth there, and grew appreciative of the culture of the Timor-Leste.

Preparation

shah172758_1 — 2026-02-06 00:10:33 UTC

My Service Day team and I had to plan something impactful for Service Day IFP, and we thought to first write to Timor-Leste Youth for Peace in order to get a better idea about our plans.

Investigation

shah172758_1 — 2026-02-06 00:10:40 UTC

Part of the Service Day team - reaching out to NGO's and brainstorming ideas for a successful and fruitful Service Day

This is the document for all Lunar New Year Video planning: It was stressful and a bit rushed but very rewarding and it helped us organize all our roles

Lunar New Year Video

shah172758_1 — 2026-03-16 00:10:33 UTC

This was the final video: It was a very gratifying and fulfilling experience where I gained a lot of knowledge about the festivities associated with Lunar New Year.
