Saturday Activities

Amazon- Games & Prizes
Every Saturday brings forth a diverse array of activities tailored for the residents of all grades. This particular Saturday witnessed Grade 10 boys eagerly embracing their favorite sports. The early morning rain had graced the fields and courts with a fresh, wet allure. A portion of the boys opted for an invigorating football match on the lower Han field, while the remainder enthusiastically engaged in a spirited game of basketball. The joyous atmosphere was complemented by the pleasant weather resulting from the rain. The damp, revitalized field served as an encouraging backdrop, allowing both the footballers and basketball players to indulge in their chosen activities without pause. Time seemed to dissolve as they passionately played on, united by the thrill of the game.

Han - Jeopardy
One of our cherished Saturday activities was the engaging game of Musical Jeopardy. Divided into three teams of five individuals each, we explored five distinct categories: Disney, pop music, musical instruments, random trivia, and song lyrics. Points, ranging from 100 to 700, were up for grabs, corresponding to the varying levels of difficulty.

Collaboratively, we selected categories and provided answers, garnering points for correct responses while incurring negative marks for incorrect ones. The atmosphere was brimming with enjoyment as we competed amiably and reveled in the camaraderie. These interactive games have become a recurring highlight of our weekends, ensuring active engagement and entertainment.

Mekong- Debate
A heartening debate unfolded, centered around the merits and drawbacks of Artificial Intelligence (AI). Two teams, each comprising three speakers, engaged in a spirited discussion, with an additional speaker designated for the third round to counter the opposing team's viewpoints.

The conversation delved into the depths of this intricate topic, pushing the boundaries of our understanding and compelling us to weigh the benefits and pitfalls of this formidable technology.

The boundless potential of AI to revolutionize various sectors – encompassing music, environment, and technology – emerged as a central theme. We contemplated how AI-driven systems might analyze complex mathematical problems, gradually acclimatizing human minds to the extensive support provided by this mind-boggling AI utilization. The concept of self-organizing machines guided by AI algorithms, streamlining part sorting and technological advancement, sparked our curiosity.

Amidst our excitement, we couldn't overlook the ethical quandaries and potential threats associated with AI. The discussion also broached the subject of employment loss due to AI automation. We debated the implications of artificial intelligence potentially supplanting certain job roles, leading to heightened unemployment levels. While opinions varied – some anticipated significant job losses, others envisioned new avenues of career opportunities unfolding alongside technological advancement.

Zambezi - Ironing
On this particular morning, the young women of Zambezi engaged in learning the practical skill of ironing clothes. Led by their Resident Prefects - Miss Atia, Miss Meena, Miss Sabita, and Miss Smita - a few girls demonstrated their proficiency through instructional videos. The acquisition of laundry and ironing skills holds significance as it empowers students to manage their own tasks. As we transition beyond the protective environment, equipping ourselves with these household abilities becomes essential for independent living.
