IB Orientation Reflection

The orientation trip took place on September 6th and it lasted for 3 days. It was to Borderlands in Kitulgala. The orientation trip really connected the whole grade. I personally got to know people that i didn't usually talk to and got to know a lot more about people that i do talk to usually. The trip consisted a lot of risk-taking and activities that challenged us physically as well as mentally. For example the abseil down the waterfall didn't take much physical prowess but required a strong mental drive. Activities such as rafting and end of the day reflections were what in my opinion brought our grade closer. I really enjoyed our service activity that consisted of us making up questions for the local community of Kitulgala and finding out about their lives. It really open my eyes to how most peoples live are made up of only work and providing for they family, while mine consists of a whole bunch of different things. To conclude the Ib orientation trip was really fun and i hope the grade can do something like that again.
