The ‘Freshers event lasted for an entire month. This event was about welcoming G-11 students and their shift to DP. The event is organized every year to celebrate students’ achievements and is a joyous celebration that takes hard work.  Through this experience, I was able to explore my physical and creative strengths, overcome new challenges, and stay committed throughout the process. It became a meaningful journey of growth, both as a dancer and as a learner.

LO 1:  Identify own strengths and develop areas for growth

 LO 1:  Participating in the dance performance for the Freshers event allowed me to reflect on my physical capabilities and creative skills. I realized that one of my strengths is learning choreography quickly and being able to teach others effectively. However, I also recognized areas where I could improve — such as stamina and consistency — since the intense practice sessions often left me exhausted. Through this experience, I became more aware of how I work in high-energy environments and how I can further develop my coordination and performance presence.

LO 2 : Demonstrate that challenges have been undertaken,developing new skills in the process

LO 2: Preparing for this performance was far from easy. It was physically demanding and mentally exhausting at times, especially since I was juggling multiple responsibilities like choreographing, learning, and teaching simultaneously. Waking up early to reach school before classes for rehearsals tested my time management and discipline. Throughout the process, I developed better endurance, improved my ability to work collaboratively in a group setting, and learned how to adapt under pressure. These were all new skills or areas I hadn’t previously explored in such depth.

LO 4: Show commitment to and perseverance in CAS experiences

LO 4: The preparation period lasted two to three weeks, requiring me to commit both my time and energy consistently. Despite the physical strain and academic workload, I stayed committed to the practices and ensured I gave my best in each session. My perseverance helped me push through moments of fatigue and self-doubt, and seeing the final performance come together made it all worthwhile. This experience showed me the value of staying dedicated and how persistence can lead to a rewarding outcome.
