Journal 5.12: Handing over the eco club

      Now that our juniors have entered IB DP, we thought of handing over our eco club to our juniors. So, we had a meeting with them and asked the interested students to give their names for this participation. We then allotted each of them one plant to take care of. Also, we briefed them on how to take care of them and how to place them outside before every weekend so that they don't dry out in the cabins without enough sunlight and water.
       The DP faculty helped us arrange a ceremony to hand over this club. One of the juniors hosted the ceremony and our CAS coordinator Rolf sir gave a short speech about the work that had been done in order to bring light to this activity. He also talked about how important growing plants in your vicinity is.
        Then, the Chief Academic Officer, Dr. Sonali Geed gave all the members of the eco club certificates and appreciated us for having brought up a good tradition in our school!
        After the certificates were given, the ceremony was closed and all our juniors took incharge of their respective plants and carried them to the cabins. It was pretty hard to give away what we took care of for almost a year. But to know that a tradition that we began, is going to continue forever is makes us feel proud!

Journal 16.4: Creating sensation

We even had to skip a few classes to get time to sit together as a team and sort out those traditional issues that always pop up when all 7 minds think differently.  Of course, we always had the wise mind – our president who cleared the strains constantly. For instance, one of the major issues was that 2 people started making the country allotments for the delegates and we finally ended up in a mess and had to do it all over again. Skipping lunch and sleep became part of a daily routine under this pressure. However, one of the fun things that happened this month was ‘Drenched in Red’. It was an open challenge initiated by the SIMUN team for people to send pictures of anything in red that implied meaning. The sole purpose of this challenge was to bring people together. It’s seemed like an opportunity to bring everybody in unity, despite their differences. This in turn created a hype for SIMUN itself. Also, we had a skype call with the TIPS Karur campus students to clear their doubts regarding the committee sessions and conference details.
