Action: School Basketball Team


            Today we had practice with the boy’s team’s coach, Pak Ferry, who will be coaching the grade 10s to 11s for the competition that they are joining net week. At today’s practice, Pak Ferry went back to teaching us basics such as doing screening, and simple variations of screening drills. We also focused on shooting and especially making free throw shots, as well as the other shots that we made from near the ring. I felt that today’s practice was very effective.

Creativity: Piano Lessons


            Today, I played the first part of Beethoven’s sonatina I was assigned. I need to further pay attention the tempo, other than making sure that I play the correct notes, as the song play with triplets and trills, so that sometimes I press the wrong note and do not follow the tempo correctly. I also tried out a bit of part 2 of the piece, which I still need to work on.

Action: School Basketball Team


            Today we had practice as usual. Though the league games are over, we may still play in the upcoming Karawaci cup, and in fact, next week, the grade 10s to 11s of the team will be joining a basketball competition held nearby. The grade 12s will not be able to take part because they are too old to qualify. At practice we mostly did shooting and lay-up drills and also ran a bit.

Service: Teaching English Club

            As the House Team Debate Competition began, at the beginning of February, we also continued with our English Club schedule. We were now housing the unit Speech. Coming in after the Christmas break, I think that many students are getting busier, or have lost interest in English club. It could also be, that they were more interested in the units that we hosted before the holiday. Today was the second meeting of the Speech unit.

            So far, we have one participant, and though it is nice to have a greater number of participants, with just one participant, that participant has more time to interact with us seniors and also focus and developing his speech skills. I only helped out this meeting, and the Sherni and Valeska were the ones who contributed the most.

Action: School Basketball Team


            Today we went to our game at STB where we found out that we will be playing JIS again, to determine our placing in the league. Our team was smaller today as not too many people made it. We lost the game to JIS and our final placing in the league is 6th place.

Action: School Basketball Team


            Today we had practice as usual. At this practice, we did drills as usual and are preparing for the game that we will paly at STB this Saturday and which will be the final game of the league. We mostly focused on doing shooting drills, such as learning to shoot at without preparation as we will likely have to do in a game.
