For weeks, students
of Dalat International High school division have been working diligently to
fulfill their aspirations. Sadly, however, this does not leave much time for
their favorite pastimes such as sports, hanging out with friends, and exercise.
On Monday, 26 October, Mr. Brewster had blessed the students with a Dalat
holiday. But little did the students know that this was not a holiday for
everyone.
Early Monday morning,
teachers rolled into school thrilled to go through teacher training. During
teacher training day, many students finally found the time to take a break from
university searching and school work to have fun and bond with friends.
Students enjoyed their time by doing anything that was not related to school.
Examples of these games that are commonly played in Dalat is Minecraft, Among
Us and sports games. Students that do not spend their time gaming usually find
time to make plans to be with friends.
As Gabe Kontsas (11) said,
“I enjoyed playing soccer on a muddy field although I struggled with the
slippery ground. I also went to Let’s Meat with my friends, then invited my
friends to my house to play video games.”
Dalat community is a
community that actively practices giving back to others. From Kids For Kids is
a club that raises money to aid other children around the world through school.
The recent long weekend provides an opportunity for members to meet up and make
plans on methods to raise money for the children they are sponsoring. A few
ways how this club is raising money is through donations, no uniform days and
bake sales. Sharisse Leong, who is a member of From Kids For Kids, shares what
she did during teacher training day for the club.
Sharisse Leong (12) said,
“I spent Monday baking treats to raise money for From Kids For Kids Club with
my friends.”
Other activities that
students indulged in was catching up on rest. Many children in the dorms
enjoyed spending their Monday off by appreciating the possibility to sleep in
and have their first meal of the day. How long could you sleep in for?
